42. Xuanwu War (11)
Linghu Meiya said with a dark face: "Minister Hua, I really doubt the IQ of your Yanhuang people, and you dare to mention such conditions." Not to mention the rest, let's take the first one, has our Heavenly Tiger Empire been defeated? Yes, you have won a few battles, but you are really victorious? If you are really victorious, you will not be driven homeless by us, like a lost dog. ”
Hua Tielei smiled and said: "Whether our army is the victor or not, it is not you who have the final say with me, I only know that from the beginning of the war between our two clans to the present, our army has not killed a few people in battle, and there is not a single prisoner, but our army has wiped out the strength of your army groups on nearly ten fronts, and there are so many prisoners that we have no place to put them, as for us being homeless? Isn't that a joke? We are a strategic retreat, and it is really a waste to talk about such advanced strategies and tactics with you brainless people." ”
It is conceivable that the first negotiation was spent in the quarrel between the two sides, but for the Yanhuang clan, there is really no problem at all, anyway, the Yanhuang clan is just trying to gain more time, and it is best that this negotiation can be negotiated for ten or eight years, if so, it would be ideal.
The next day, the negotiations continued, no matter how fierce the quarrel was, the Heavenly Tiger Army could not let Linghu Meiya go back to rest for more than ten days before talking, there were still trillions of officers and soldiers waiting to be rescued, and if people could be rescued one day earlier, the pressure from the masses faced by the top echelons of the Heavenly Tiger Empire would be lighter.
"Minister Hua, if you are always entangled in such a small issue, then I am afraid that our negotiations will not be able to continue, and it is impossible for our empire to admit defeat. "Okay, General Linghu, then we will temporarily cease fighting, just sign an armistice agreement, so it's okay. Hua Tielei didn't dwell too much on a noun, it was just a noun anyway.
Lieutenant General Huo Lingsu, chief of staff of the 13th Front Army of the 180th Front Army of the Tianhu Army, who attended the negotiation meeting, said: "Minister Hua, don't you think that the issue of compensation for military expenses you mentioned is rather nonsense?
Hua Qingyuan, who participated in the negotiation on the side of the Yanhuang clan, smiled and said: "Your Excellency Fire Spirit, I really don't know what Your Excellency's logic looks like, now the initiative is in our hands, you want to save people back without paying a little price, there is such a cheap thing in this universe, you trillions of people eat us and live with us, you must give us food and room money, not to mention breaking our things, how can we do it without compensation?"
Hua Tielei continued: "Since you don't like the word compensation, how about we change the word ransom?" "One billion is too big, even if we have trillions of officers and soldiers, we don't need so much. "It's not a lot at all, it's a number we've calculated. Trillions of people have lived with us for more than a year, and each person is counted as 10,000 Tianhu coins per year for housing and food, which is not too much, besides, you let us evacuate so far, leaving the planet where we have lived for a long time, our losses are great, so the number of one billion is not big at all, on the contrary, you still make a lot of money. If you calculate this number carefully, it is not enough to add it ten times more. So, we've made a lot of sense, if you want to calculate it in detail with us, okay, let's calculate it in detail. ”
The representatives of the Heavenly Tiger Empire really have nothing to say, the Heavenly Tiger Coins are relatively valuable, one Yuan Heavenly Tiger Coins can buy about five kilograms of grain, so the billion Heavenly Tiger Coins are not less, however, if you calculate it carefully, the billion Heavenly Tiger Coins are really not much, for the huge Heavenly Tiger Empire, the number of one billion is really nothing. Hua Tielei continued: "Of course, you can also pay without money, anyway, we can't use your Tianhu coins, let's use materials to compensate, in this way, you are easier, and we are also relaxed." ”
"What kind of supplies?" asked a negotiator from the Celestial Tiger Empire, "strategic supplies are not allowed. The implication is that in addition to strategic materials, other things can still be discussed, after all, the word compensation is more sensitive, if it is paid in materials, it can also be said to be trade, so that it can also be more convenient to explain to the superiors.
Lin Qingyuan, the negotiator of the Yanhuang tribe, said: "What we need is some relatively ordinary things, definitely not strategic materials, this is our list, if you can provide it, we are still more willing to accept, but in terms of discount, we have to discount a little." He handed over a list, which was full of some ores, flowers and plants, and some jade, which were not eye-catching, some of these things were relatively valuable in the Tianhu Empire, and some were very worthless, but the Yanhuang clan offered a relatively high price, of course, this price is not too outrageous, such as a century-old ginseng, the price is 10,000 Tianhu coins, this price is not low.
After all, jade can be used to make beautiful ornaments, and the price is relatively expensive, but I don't understand those flowers and plants and other things, what is the use of ginseng? What is the use of septic blood grass? Is there anything special about the sun-killing flower, the hundred-year-old He Shou Wu, and the snow heart lotus? I don't understand at all, Linghu Meiya has suffered a loss, and asked:" Minister Hua, these things are produced in large quantities in our empire, but they are all controlled things, and we can't use them as compensation. "No matter what the Yanhuang clan does with these, there will be no good things anyway, and if you don't understand it, it doesn't mean that the empire's science and technology don't understand, and you'll talk about it when you figure it out."
Hua Tielei smiled and said: "These things we use to make some special things, although we can also produce them in large quantities, but, for these things, we have never too much, as for the specific role, I think, there are differences in the culture of our two sides, you don't understand, but I can say that these things can be used to treat our diseases." ”
The people of the Heavenly Tiger Empire rolled their eyes together, what are they kidding, using flowers and plants to cure diseases, idiots will believe it, there must be other effects, but they also know that the Huang clan of Daoyan will not say it, so they will not ask anymore.
For the list issued by the Yanhuang clan, the people of the Tianhu Empire believe that there must be something that the Yanhuang clan wants very much, of course, there are also some things that the Yanhuang clan opened to confuse the public, but they don't know much about the Yanhuang clan, and they don't know much about what the Yanhuang clan needs, so they can't figure out what the Yanhuang clan really wants, however, after a lot of negotiations, they think that the Yanhuang clan's relatively high price must be what they want, and the lower price should be used by the Yanhuang clan to confuse the public, of course, it is also possible that the Yanhuang clan made a deception, but in general, this is true。
However, it is impossible for the Heavenly Tiger Empire to use these items as compensation for military expenses until the Empire's scientific and technological personnel have confirmed their use. There is a consensus on this point from top to bottom of the Tianhu Army.
One of the compensation items is naturally put aside for the time being, and then the next one will be discussed, anyway, the negotiations can be completed in a day or two, and it will take time, I believe that with the technology of the empire, it will soon be able to figure out the true use of these things.
Third, on the issue of the retreat of the Tianhu Army, there is no problem with the retreat of the army in front of the Xuanwu Fortress Group, but for the sweeping army in the southeast cannot advance, then there is a problem, the hand of the Yanhuang Clan is also stretched too long, it is hundreds of millions of light years away from the Xuanwu Fortress Group, what is the matter with your Yanhuang Clan? Also, even if the Tianhu Army wants to retreat from the front of the Xuanwu Fortress Group, it is impossible to retreat so far, and they have lost so much territory, how can they explain to the Empire? Gotcha, let's discuss, the two sides are haggling again, anyway, there is time.
The two sides analyzed all aspects, discussed word by word, and fought light year by light year, in short, involving territorial interests, both sides did their best to fight for it, and discussed it for a full month, and everyone was a little unbearable to argue, so it was agreed. The sweeping army in the southeast maintained its present front for fifty years and could not advance any further. In Hua Tielei's words: "We have received the support of countless races in the Southeast Star Region in this battle, and my Yanhuang clan has gained the benefits of others, but we can't think about others, so what is it? It is impossible for you Tianhu people to stop the war, but give us a little time, let's withdraw those races, this is always okay." "Okay, if those races are withdrawn, it will still be beneficial to the future strategy of the Tianhu Army, and a truce of several decades is not a big deal, after all, the Tianhu Empire has spent hundreds of thousands of years in the war, and it has been annexed one galaxy after another, and this battle has not been fought, the Tianhu River system is too big, and it is definitely not possible to occupy it all in a thousand or hundreds of years, so fifty years of armistice is fifty years.
As for the face of the Xuanwu fortress group, it has been retreating to the area of 50,000 light-years north of the New Earth Star. In this regard, Hua Qingyuan also said a big truth: "A considerable part of our coalition army are New Earth Star people, and New Earth Star is their hometown, and we can't help but recapture their hometown." Since they are going back to their hometown, then you can't put the battle line at the door of their hometown, you must always give us a little strategic buffer, if we don't even have this at all, then what else do we have to say?" "Yes, in this way, how can the Yanhuang Clan explain to the New Earth Star? Therefore, the Heavenly Tiger Army accepted this condition, which is much better than the original retreat to 300,000 light years north of the New Earth Star.
For the fourth article, the two sides carry out limited trade, which the Tianhu Army does not contradict anything, trade means that there is money to be made, although the Tianhu Army is rich all over the world and has a large number of planets, but who doesn't want to have a few more money in their wallets? Money is really not good without it, so the Tianhu Army did not object to this matter, but Linghu Meiya said: " Ladies and gentlemen, we also want to trade, but I'm afraid that the empire won't agree to this article, after all, with trade, there may be a danger of capital enemies, I think, the empire's high-level will not agree, the empire's high-level will not agree, even if we have private trade, the scale will not be large, so there is no need to consider this article at all. ”
