The Red Age of Sword and Magic

Chapter 92

"Doesn't your Majesty still consider himself a descendant of Subotai, the general of the Great Xia Western Expedition? As a vassal state, do you have the right to shelter the bandits wanted by the Suzerain?"

"Feng Shui takes turns, Bo'er Jijin can be the emperor, but Wuliang Hashi can't?
We have been a vassal state for 400 years, and now Lucia is strong and then Xia is weak.We are the suzerain country, isn't it normal for you to be our Huang Lucia in the summer? "

"Fart! Rebellious! We are Houxia, do you have any face as a feudal kingdom? If you keep talking about Houxia, I can only call you beastmen."

Randy looked at Mr. Zeng's behavior in the past, and thought that diplomatic negotiations must be gentlemen sitting together in person, drinking coffee, and communicating wisely.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this, and it is not much different from the struggle between Shilanchong villagers and other villages for water.

As soon as the insulting word "orc" came out, Buce's swordsman master guard suddenly showed the "Eagle's Claw", the Cossack's Chaksi saber.

When his job came, Randy did not show any weakness, the epee appeared in his hand, and at the same time he waved his hand, calling out Ah Hua.A'hua rested her front paws on the negotiating table, stared at the Cossack guard in a real way, and let out a threatening roar.

The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a while, and Buce took a deep breath, "Forget it, the tigers are at the negotiating table, what a shame. Let's adjourn the meeting first, drink a cup of coffee, calm down, and talk again later. .”

The Cossack guard withdrew his saber, Ahua Duhu shook his head, and returned to the pet space by himself.The aura in this room is very uncomfortable, unless there is a fight, it would rather sleep in a dark space.

Randy didn't have any coffee, and he was still standing behind Mr. Zeng.

After a break, Mr. Zeng immediately smiled, holding coffee, hooking shoulders with Butzer, and chatting about vodka and kvass. Randy was amazed at how fast his face changed.

After a break, the conversation continued. This time, Buce spoke first, "We will talk about the issues we have disputed later. We are sincere in returning Ili to you, but you have to give some financial compensation."

"You have occupied our city, and you still ask us for money? It doesn't make sense."

"We came here to maintain order after being cut off from contact with your mainland by Yagubo. We protected the people here and maintained law and order. Now we will return it to you. We can't send troops for nothing, right?"

"Then you're still collecting taxes here."

"In the remote border area, because the war cut off business and trade, how much tax can we collect? It can't cover the military expenses at all, so we ask for 500 million rubles in compensation. Also, the tax exemption policy for Lucia merchants in the Western Regions and Northern Xinjiang."

"This is impossible. Not only are the Western Regions and northern borders not exempt from taxes, but your privileges on the Songhua River will also have to be cancelled."

"Are we defeated? Still need to cancel the original rights and interests? Our Pacific Fleet is already cruising in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Bay. If the negotiation fails to satisfy us, will Lucia's ship be firm? The guns will not be good?"

"Before Zeng returned from the country of elves, he had just ordered two newest cruisers in Portsmouth, and they were already on their way back home.

Moreover, urgently, we can also temporarily reconcile with the orcs, and jointly fight against your fleet. Have you forgotten that the Pacific Fleet was wiped out by the orcs? "

The more I talked, the more I became stiff, and then I took a break and drank coffee...

Randy stood behind Mr. Zeng for a whole day, drowsy, he really didn't understand diplomacy.

Seeing that Mr. Zeng is still radiant and full of fighting power, Randy admires him very much, um, maybe it's because he drank too much coffee.

It seems that diplomacy is a boring job. At the end of the day, no agreement was reached, only the two envoys had a quarrel, and a lot of coffee was consumed.

Randy felt that the negotiation was not progressing, but Mr. Zeng didn't think so. When he returned to the temporary residence, he suddenly threw his white suit on the ground, tore off his bow tie, and shouted, "Great!"

He took out a bottle of red wine, raised his neck and drank a big gulp, there was no elegance at all.Then he took Randy's hand, and tears suddenly came down.

"Brother Lan, today is the most proud day I have been a diplomat for so many years. Do you know how difficult it is to be able to confront these old orcs as equals?"

"Diplomacy, diplomacy, where is diplomacy without strength?"

"I was trembling in the Kingdom of the Elf and New Frank, wearing western clothes, imitating the rules of eating and drinking, and apologizing to others, often in order to save tens of thousands, tens of thousands of taels of silver for the country, and fight for a little bit of face for Da Xia .”

"Do you think I love western food and foreign wine? A weak country has no diplomacy. Today, Lao Maozi and Ottoman just fought a battle, and the internal weakness, plus the battle of Zuo Dashuai and Randy, finally gave me Created a negotiating basis on an equal footing with them."

"The current situation is to beat the wolf with a stick, and the two sides are afraid. Lucia and none of us want to fight. This is the time for a diplomat like me to behave."

"It's not that I'm bragging. I have the strength to be a backer. This kind of backlash is a piece of cake for someone Zeng. That Bu Ce is far behind my level."

Mr. Zeng seems to have drunk a little too much all of a sudden, and his body is shaking a little. Randy hurriedly supported him, "Your Excellency is drunk, take a good rest, and you will continue to negotiate hard with Lucia tomorrow."

"I'm not drunk!" Lord Zeng staggered, then suddenly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to the southeast, "Great-grandfather, look in the spirit of the sky, your children and grandchildren are not incompetent.

With the support of Shuai Zuo's army and the help of a warrior like Randy, watch how I plucked out the meat from the old man's mouth, and spit out everything we ate. "

When Randy helped Mr. Zeng to the chair and sat down, Zeng Jiayi was already in tears.

Randy was greatly shocked, and supported Master Zeng's shoulders, "I, Randy, swear here that I will fight for my Great Xia all my life, so that our Great Xia will become stronger, so that Master Zeng can stand upright and negotiate with foreigners in the future."

Mr. Zeng held Randy's hands, "Okay, let's make an agreement like this. With your hard work, I promise that at the negotiating table, Daxia won't lose any ground."

"Master Zeng, listen to what you mean, besides being your bodyguard, what else can I do for the negotiation?"

Mr. Zeng's eyes suddenly showed a cunning look, this Randy looks powerful and not stupid at all,
Mr. Zeng's performance is real, and his feelings are also sincere, but there are also hidden meanings.

When acting skills come to him, they have been integrated with true feelings. This is the highest state of acting.

The drunkenness in Mr. Zeng's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he put his hands on Randy's shoulders, "The bottom line of our negotiation now is that we can't lose an inch of the country.

But I don't have that many chips in my hand.As it is now, it would be nice to get Yili back, and people have to pay for it.

Governor Zuo's army can only be used to frighten them, but they cannot really fight.

In order to ensure that our land is not lost, I have two things to ask you, Brother Randy.Whichever one is done, I can get more benefits for the country at the negotiating table.

I represent Daxia, and the 5000 million people of Daxia, please. "

After finishing speaking, Master Zeng bent his knees and knelt down for Randy.
