The splendid place is not only the Flame Castle, but also the palace of Chang'an: this was originally the capital of Zheng State, so naturally there was a palace.
The palace of the Tang Dynasty was to be rebuilt, and the site was chosen to be in a new area outside the city. The remaining palace was naturally used for other purposes.
The best-renovated place here now is the Guest House of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and there are also some areas that have been directly handed over to several departments.
The envoys from several countries were uneasy about being allowed to stand here. They had declared war on the Tang Dynasty without hesitation before, but now they came shamelessly to discuss the armistice.
There are even many countries that do not know that another country has sent a special envoy to each other, and they only suddenly realize it when they meet here.
It turns out that the so-called anti-Tang alliance has long existed in name only. Everyone has their own evil intentions and their attitudes toward the Tang Dynasty are divided.
Under the gorgeous chandelier, the special envoy of the Reese Empire looked at the special envoy of Dorne with disdain, with a very unauthentic expression on his face.
Dorn's envoy was very calm. He had been talking to Susus's envoy, as if the two had really been friends for many years.
Although the Susus Empire had secretly communicated with the Tang State, the special envoy from the Sussus Empire still pretended to be a newbie and chatted with the Dorn Empire's special envoy.
.
The dwarf of the Ice Empire was very ashamed. It was he who came to the Tang Kingdom and brokered the previous armistice agreement. As a result, just over two years later, his motherland declared war on the Tang Kingdom again.
The handsome elf maintains the demeanor of a gentleman, and his height is in sharp contrast to the mirage envoy who has been standing beside him.
These envoys from various countries are here with one purpose, which is to end such a war that makes them irritated as soon as possible.
Their navy did not take advantage of the Tang navy at all. Everyone's trade routes were cut off and the losses were very heavy.
For them, if such a war continues, it will be a disaster! Making money is what these people desire most, and losing money is an absolute non-option.
"I heard that the Tang Dynasty used a very powerful new type of bomb in Fengjiang City?" Gobel's envoy approached the Ice Empire's envoy and asked as he was running out of words.
Everyone knew that the Tang Army had used a new type of bomb on the battlefield. Everyone rushed over impatiently and used connections to use the back door to prepare for peace talks with the Tang State. Isn't it because the Tang State had new weapons emerging one after another?
The damn Panther tank from before, and the mysterious new aircraft recently, have made the main fleets of all countries afraid of submarines. Of course, this also includes... the terrifying bomb that ignited the entire Fengjiang City.
Everyone was afraid that at an unexpected moment, the Tang State would suddenly come up with something that no one had ever seen before and set fire to the royal city of a certain country.
This is no joke. It is okay to send soldiers to the front lines to die, but the emperors of various countries are definitely not willing to risk their own lives.
"Yes, and there is news that in the southern area of Fengjiang, the Tang Army has put in new aircraft to participate in the war. It is more difficult to deal with than the Stuka. It is very powerful." The special envoy of the Ice Empire spoke angrily about what he knew.
information.
This news came from the Dahua Empire. The name of the Tang Army's new weapon is still unclear, but its attack method is completely different from the ordinary Stuka dive bomber. It can be said to have strengthened the ground attack capabilities of the Tang Army's Air Force.
.
What is depressing is that all Tang Dynasty aircraft seem to be more powerful than the fighter jets we can build now. How does this make the air forces of various countries play?
"Damn it, we spent 100 million gold coins for aircraft technology! The main reason why our country declared war on the Tang Dynasty was because it could not afford to repay the debt." Gobl's envoy complained in a series of lies.
Everyone knows that this sentence is bullshit, that it is false that it cannot pay back the money, and that it is true that it does not want to pay back the money: everyone thinks so, so they are so active in launching a joint war against the Tang Dynasty.
At the beginning of the war, everyone owed a lot of loans to the Tang State but had not paid them back: all the money required interest, and using ore and food products to pay off the debt would affect the production and development of each country. In short, paying back the money made everyone feel uncomfortable.
.
Therefore, fighting a war to offset debts became a secondary reason for many countries when they considered declaring war on the Tang Dynasty.
Another reason is technology and the wealth of Tang State... Anyway, these people come together with the logic of robbers and gangsters. On the one hand, they want to refuse to pay back the money they owe, and on the other hand, they want to extort money.
It's a pity that after the war broke out, everyone gradually began to realize that Tang State did not seem to be a soft persimmon, and it was not an existence that could be defeated by everyone working together.
In comparison, these imperial envoys who were still thinking of gathering together to talk were not the most miserable people present.
The really worst thing is that the special envoys of the Dahua Empire and the Chu State were gathered together and had no intention of talking.
They are the two countries that directly participated in this war, and at the same time they are also the countries that paid the highest price for this war.
Chu State has almost lost its most valuable northern plain area. Although there are still oil fields that can survive, in fact, their war potential has been almost exhausted.
To the north is the powerful and high-pressure Tang Kingdom, and to the west is the Shu Kingdom, which is looking at it with eager eyes. The border with the Great China Empire has been cut off. It can be said that it is besieged on all sides in the true sense.
They were afraid that the Great China Empire would betray its trust and negotiate with the Tang Kingdom alone and sell the Chu Kingdom directly to the Tang Dynasty, so they were very nervous.
The special envoy of the Dahua Empire also had a hard time. His main purpose of coming here was for peace talks, but Zhao Kai didn't give him many bargaining chips.
As an envoy with some brains, he knew that it was impossible to obtain concessions from the Tang State with such a small thing, so he could only sit in the corner with a sad face and remain silent.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sitting with him is Cyric's envoy. The purpose of his coming here is to sign an agreement with the Tang State, listing a list of "prohibited uses" that demonstrates humanitarianism.
Weapons List".
This agreement was initiated by the Tang State, and many countries were "forced to respond." Everyone did not think there was anything wrong with Tang State's statement, so they were all willing to sign such an agreement and promised to actively improve this "very moral agreement" in the future.
Regulations for the Use of Arms".
In short, no one could figure out why the Tang Dynasty would use a terrifying weapon like white phosphorus bombs as a bargaining chip in exchange for landmines with little technical content.
Two days ago, Tang diplomats and technical personnel had contacted Cyric's special envoy, and the two sides had a heated discussion on the regulations for the use of landmines.
Sirik believes that as an effective defensive weapon, landmines should not be banned because they can effectively prevent cross-border behavior between countries and are not offensive weapons.
Tang Guo insisted that landmines pollute the land, affect post-war reconstruction, and are difficult to clean up. They are a very cruel weapon of war, and any form of production, transportation, and use must be prohibited.
The two sides continued to argue, and eventually each took a step back: white phosphorus bombs produced by Tang State were prohibited from being used in any urban or rural area, and landmines were also not allowed to be deployed in such areas.
At the same time, when landmines are deployed in the field, minefield signs must be clearly established to facilitate centralized cleanup after the war.
However, the two sides actually have differences on whether white phosphorus bombs can be used in the wild. The more likely goal in the end is: Tang can continue to use this weapon in the wild, but when other countries master similar technology, then they can sign
Supplementary agreement prohibits the use of such weapons in the wild.
Anyway, everyone is trying their best to fight for their own interests, and even today, the "prohibited list of weapons" has not been completely finalized.
As for the Dahua side, it is actually very interesting. The Dahua Empire hopes to buy back Fengjiang, Wangchuncheng, Tengyun and Nanfengkou, including the southern oil fields, through redemption.
But it is almost impossible to buy back such a large area of land. Even if the Tang State agrees, the Dahua Empire cannot afford so much money.
So this is probably another strategy of the Dahua Empire. It is estimated that what they really want to buy is Fengjiang City, because this is the only one that the Tang State is willing to sell. It is very important to the Dahua Empire, but it is useless to the Tang State.
Dispensable city.
If the Dahua Empire loses Fengjiang, then the strategic depth will be compressed, and the Tang State will have a protrusion within Dahua territory. No matter how you look at it, it will be uncomfortable.
But if the Dahua Empire can regain control of Fengjiang, then at least on the surface, the battle line is complete, and the Dahua Empire can rely on Fengjiang to reorganize its defense line.
On the other hand, the Tang Kingdom does not lack such a city. If the Great China Empire is really willing to spend a lot of money to find a son, the Tang Kingdom may really consider selling Fengjiang.
But the price is another matter.
As for Wangchun City, Tengyun City, and Nanfengkou, they are all good places, and they are definitely things that the Tang Kingdom needs to control.
Relying on Nanfengkou, oil from the southern oil fields can be transported out whether through Tengyun or through the northern plains of Chu State, and both of these places are now in the hands of the Tang State.
As long as there are no problems with the southern oil fields, Tang will have a major oil production base, which is much more convenient to use than the oil on Dragon Island.
In addition, there are some mineral deposits along the way, which are good things that the Tang State can directly use. How could the Tang State be willing to hand them over to others?
What's more, the Tang State is not short of money now, at least it is much richer than the Dahua Empire. If they want to talk about territory sales, the Tang State will probably ask the Dahua Empire: Brother, are you selling the Zangjian Gorge and Jiange?
If you're willing to sell it, I'll just pay you a little more.
