Chapter 469 Negotiation Application
The morning light was faint.

At this time, the city of black gold slowly opened its gates.

boom--

With the opening of the city gate of the Black Gold City, it indicates that this protracted war has come to an end, and the Holy Dynasty has taken back the last piece of territory of the country. Of course, this so-called "recovery" is illegal, because the City of Black Gold is strictly speaking a The city of the empire.

If it is placed in peacetime.

This matter will be appealed to the international conference, and at that time, the kingdom, the empire, and some countries in the west can use this banner to invade the territory of the holy dynasty openly and implement the "just" ruling.

But today is different.

Now the countries are too busy to take care of themselves, especially the United Kingdom is eager for the Holy Dynasty to rub the empire's spirit and buy time for them to recover. Naturally, it is impossible to use such an excuse to trouble the dynasty at this time.

of course.

It is not ruled out that after the mainland enters a period of peace again, other countries will make a fuss about this matter.But as long as your fist is strong enough, they will be thankful if you don't launch an aggressive war against them, and dare to provoke you?
The so-called rules of the game have always been defended by force.

The game between big powers does not talk about rules and laws at all, and they often prefer the most primitive solution.

Veigar was clearly silent on this.

He was not disturbed by tearing up the contract and taking the Black Gold City. Instead, he was going to use the chips in his hands to negotiate terms with the empire. If he was lucky, he might be able to become a fisherman in this war.

So what bargaining chip does Vega have?

Although this time Vega lost about 3 soldiers in a legion.

But here I have to mention that Veigar's final record in this battle was to wipe out [-] enemies and take [-] prisoners.

Under Veigar's front and back attacks, there were almost no escaped enemies, and most of them were all captured by Veigar, including even the commander-in-chief Eskar and several division commanders under him.

These are all chips.

Leaving aside the [-] captives, Eskar alone was enough to "sell" for a good price.

As for this 'good price' Veigar has already thought about it——

War Airship!

Although Veigar, a strategic weapon, already has blueprints, blueprints and manufacturing are two different things. It will take a long time to fully understand the technology. As for the current stage, it is probably unrealistic to expect the Kingdom, which is overwhelmed by itself, to fulfill its promises.

Therefore, Vega resisted the temptation to kill [-] captives to improve his strength, just to exchange [-] captives and generals like Escal for a good price, so that the dynasty could survive the blank period without an air force.

And killing captives is ultimately a matter of ruining one's reputation.

Killing 7 people to increase strength is certainly a momentary pleasure, but the next time you encounter an even-matched enemy, if this story is spread by the enemy commander, then the soldiers below will fight to the death and never surrender.

Therefore, in the long run, captives can only be used as bargaining chips.

As a big country, the empire certainly cannot refuse this negotiation. If the empire refuses to negotiate, it is estimated that the entire country will be in turmoil if someone with a heart spreads it in the empire.

The fact is just as Vega expected.

On the seventh day after the end of this war, the empire sent envoys in an attempt to submit an application for negotiation to Shia.

At that time, Qi Lisi stopped this matter in time. She asked Vega to keep these emissaries out and not allow them to submit a negotiation application to Shia. The reason for doing so was of course to occupy the initiative in this negotiation.

Qi Lisi told Vega that it would not be too late to accept the empire's negotiation application in ten days.

Because these 10 days are enough for the empire's envoys to be restless and slowly increase the bargaining chips in their hearts. When the real negotiation comes, it will be easy to figure out how much the empire can pay for this negotiation.

Veigar handed over the negotiation to Qi Lisi.

Because Qi Lisi is a businessman after all, and businessmen are obviously handy for negotiations.

Time flies, on the eve of the negotiation.

Vega began to do superficial work in the prisoner concentration camp to show that he did not abuse the prisoners. Although no one believed this kind of thing, but the face project was still done, so as to extort an extra resettlement fee and food expenses. of.

At the same time, Veigar came to meet Eskar at the High Prison.

creak-

The dark cell door was opened.

This so-called high-level prison does not mean that the interiors of the rooms, food and other conditions are better, but that the means of torturing people have been upgraded from elementary to advanced, making people more desperate for survival.

As soon as he entered the door, Veigar saw the haggard Eskar.

At this time, he had been tortured beyond human form. Although there were no marks on his face, his body was covered with centipede-like scars, which looked a bit shocking.

This is not a TV show.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for high-ranking generals to get any preferential treatment if they are captured. Instead, they will be severely punished by the enemy. After all, the more senior generals, the more secrets they have in their hands, so there is no reason not to torture them up.

"Master General, how are you doing these days?"

Veigar turned a blind eye to Eskar's injury, and just greeted him with a smile. At the same time, he asked his subordinates to untie Eskar and invited him to sit on a chair.

"Cough cough cough-"

The pale-faced Escal coughed and didn't answer Vega's question. Instead, he picked up the wine on the table and drank a few gulps into his mouth, until he was choked and couldn't drink it.

There was another few minutes of silence.

Escal, who recovered a little bit, asked: "The empire finally sent someone to negotiate with you? It's a little earlier than I expected, and I can finally go home..."

"Your Excellency the General, are you so confident that I will let you go?"

Veigar chuckled, as if he was going to scare Eskar.

But Escal obviously didn't care: "You and I were both generals of the empire, and we have experienced the unforgettable 'secrecy training', so do you think these punishments can make me tell the intelligence of the empire? It is useless at all, the only function is probably to replace a few more war airships."

"Your Excellency is wise."

Of course, Veigar didn't have extravagant hopes to get anything out of Eskar. He just came here to say goodbye to Eskar. After all, they worked together. This time, I'm afraid there will be no more goodbyes in the future. chance to see you.

After all, Eskar personally ruined the great battle in the West Bank.

Therefore, the greatest possibility is that the empire will allow Escal to retire early, or even deprive him of his honor and military rank if it is serious.

"Cough cough cough..."

Escal showed a decadent expression for the first time: "Even if I am redeemed, it is not difficult for you to guess what will happen to me. For the sake of working together, can you answer two simple questions for me?"

"But it doesn't matter."

Veigar was not prepared to embarrass a general who was about to retire from the war arena, and he seemed quite generous at this time.
