"This..." Nikolayevich didn't know how to answer Fang Xiaoyu's sudden attack.
Seeing some silence, Deputy Finance Minister Brozhnev on the side responded: "If Lord Fang thinks it is unreasonable, we are willing to compensate you in cash for all your losses."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Cash is not necessary. The rubles of your Cossack Empire don't seem to be worth much. Unless you offer three to five thousand tons of gold, I can still consider it."
Nikolayevich and Brozhnev looked at each other, and both sides saw the helplessness in the other's eyes. Although Lord Fang was young, he was very difficult to deal with. This was spread after the last negotiation with Japan.
Yes, they know very well that this negotiation is not easy to negotiate.
Nikolayevich said: "I wonder what kind of concessions Lord Fang thinks we should make?"
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Our demands are not high. We just need to recognize our war results and redeem the captured officers and soldiers of your navy and army at a reasonable price."
Nikolayevich said tentatively: "I wonder what kind of war results we want to recognize?"
Fang Xiaoyu threw a document to Nikolayevich and said: "This is our current actual control area, and we request that the boundaries be redrawn based on the actual control area."
Nikolayevich took the document and opened it and looked at it for a few times. His face suddenly turned red and he shouted: "This is impossible. The emperor will not agree to such many territorial demands."
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't agree. We still have plenty of time, but my subordinates will be a little impatient as time goes by. They are all restless people. When you agree, it may not be the current border division plan."
This is naked blackmail by Fang Xiaoyu, but now that he has strong strength and sufficient backing, he is not afraid of the other party's retaliation at all. This is diplomacy between big countries. Diplomacy may seem like a diplomat's method at first glance, but in fact it is still a relationship between countries.
In a confrontation of strength, if there is no strong enough national power to support it, even the best diplomat will accomplish nothing. This is the saying that a weak country has no diplomacy.
Brozhnev also took the document and looked at it. His expression was also very ugly: "Lord Fang's conditions are indeed too excessive. For such a large territory, even if we agree to it, we still don't have such rights."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "It doesn't matter, we can wait slowly, you can report it to the country."
Nikolayevich said: "If this is the case, please ask Lord Fang to promise that you will not have any military operations during this period."
Fang Xiaoyu said with a straight shoulder: "I can't guarantee this. I don't like leaving my people idle. If you insist on keeping them idle, I will have to pay more money to appease them. Are you willing to pay this money?"
"
Brozhnev bit the bullet and asked: "How much will it cost to appease your army?"
Fang Xiaoyu pretended to think for a while and said: "About three million Lanfang coins."
Brozhnev breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Three million is not much, I can give it to you tomorrow."
Fang Xiaoyu waved his index finger and said, "No, it's not three million in total, it's three million a day."
"Three million a day?" Brozhnev almost jumped up: "This is simply blackmail. In the Cossack Empire, this money is enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops." Brozhnev suddenly realized that the young man opposite him had no idea at all.
He is just a gangster, and the gangster at the negotiation table is still the most shameless kind.
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Really? It's a pity that this is done by China. The military expenditures of China are much higher than yours. I am also very embarrassed about this."
Nikolayevich sighed and said: "We need to report the situation, and please forgive us, Lord Lord."
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "There is no need to discuss, otherwise you will find a manager, or my troops will continue to advance until you give a reply."
The two looked at each other, shook their heads and said nothing, but turned around and walked out of the conference hall. Xia Tingwei, who was accompanying Fang Xiaoyu to a negotiation for the first time, whispered: "Why are you so pushy?"
Fang Xiaoyu said: "This is a game between countries. Any kindness to the enemy may lead to your own destruction. You will slowly get used to it."
Xia Tingwei shook her head: "I can't get used to this, but I will still support you."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, they won't be too embarrassed. The capital of the Cossack Empire is thousands of miles away from the Chinese territory. It takes more than half a year to go back and forth. They must still have people in the mission who can make the decision. I
I just want to force out their trump cards first."
The next morning, as Fang Xiaoyu expected, there was a short young man in the Cossack Empire's negotiating team. The young man said: "Hello, Lord Fang. I am Prince Alexander of the Cossack Empire."
Fang Xiaoyu looked at the young man and smiled and said: "Are you testing my IQ? Miss, please fix your ear holes next time you pretend to be a man. Besides, you don't have an Adam's apple. It's best to wear high-collar clothes when pretending to be a man.
The most easily exposed thing is that your breasts are too high, I advise you not to pretend to be a man."
"You..." The young man was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Brozhnev still refused to admit it and said: "Lord Fang, please pay attention to your wording. This is our prince, please don't be unreasonable."
The young man took off his hat, revealing his beautiful long brown hair and blue eyes and said: "Uncle Brozhnev, there is no need to cover up anymore. In fact, I have already said that there is no need."
Cover up, we women can also represent the country at negotiations."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Beautiful lady, can you introduce yourself again now."
The woman smoothed her hair that fell behind her ears and said: "My name is Dalia Ferdinand Alexander, so it's not wrong for me to say that my name is Alexander just now. I am the daughter of Alexander III, Emperor of the Cossack Empire. I will negotiate with you this time."
He is the person who can take charge, you can talk to me."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "That's good. You also know the conditions I proposed. I wonder how the princess decides?"
Princess Dalia thought for a while and said: "I can agree to cede the entire Far East and half of the Siberian Plain to the Chinese Territory, but I ask that you must marry me, and these areas will be given to the Chinese Territory as a dowry. And those captives
I hope you can hand over the remaining warships to us free of charge as a betrothal gift."
After hearing what Princess Dalia said, Fang Xiaoyu stood up with a serious face and said: "I'm sorry, I can't accept your conditions. I will never accept any political marriage. This is unfair to me and you."
Princess Dalia also stood up and said: "If you do not accept my proposal, we will not agree to your request."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Very good, since you don't agree, then let's meet on the battlefield." After saying these words, Fang Xiaoyu turned around and left without any intention of staying.
Princess Dalia looked blankly at Fang Xiaoyu who turned to leave and said, "Am I that disgusting to you?" Even though she said this, she felt a little fondness for this young lord who would never accept a political marriage.
I also admire his toughness.
Fang Xiaoyu stopped for a moment halfway and replied without looking back: "What I hate is political marriage. It's just the first day I've seen you, so I won't comment." After saying that, Fang Xiaoyu walked out directly.
Xia Tingwei followed out and smiled at Fang Xiaoyu: "I didn't realize that you are so principled that you can refuse such a beautiful girl to throw yourself into your arms."
Fang Xiaoyu straightened his straight clothes with both hands and said deliberately and seriously: "With a wife watching, of course you have to be upright. This is basic common sense."
Xia Tingwei said: "Okay, so you agreed if I'm not here." Fang Xiaoyu hugged Xia Tingwei and said with a smile: "How is it possible? You are my personal secretary now. When will you be gone?"
Xia Tingwei lightly hit Fang Xiaoyu on the shoulder with her pink fist and said, "It's good that you know. Remember, I will keep an eye on you at all times."
Xia Tingwei suddenly said seriously: "Husband, are you really not going to accept this political marriage? This will improve the situation around your territory a lot, and the other party is such a beautiful girl."
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "I said I hate political marriage. If such a marriage must be forced on me, I would rather build my own sky with my hands than rely on these dirty tricks."
Xia Tingwei looked at no one around, put her arms around Fang Xiaoyu's neck, kissed him and said, "Husband, I find that you are becoming more and more like a man."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "What does it mean to look like? Your husband is a man to begin with." As he said this, Fang Xiaoyu pulled up his sleeves and made a gesture to show off his biceps, which made Xia Tingwei smile sweetly.
"Okay, okay, there's no need to show it off. With your small body, you look like an immature child. You're still a man, and you're not shy." Xia Tingwei rolled her eyes at him and said.
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head in frustration and said: "Okay, okay, I will grow taller as soon as possible. In a few years, you will realize how tall I am, husband."
"Who is so stalwart?" A voice like a silver bell penetrated into the ears of the two of them. They looked back and found that it was Xia Tingyun.
Fang Xiaoyu glared at her and said, "What's wrong with me, Wei'an? Isn't it okay?"
Xia Tingyun said with a smile: "Okay, when you become great, my sister and I will marry you again."
Fang Xiaoyu deliberately glared at her and said, "Don't even think about it, I'm going to marry you right away." After saying that, he made a preemptive move. Xia Tingyun was so frightened that she quickly hid behind her sister. Fang Xiaoyu deliberately frightened Xia Tingyun, and the three of them soon started playing around.
