otherwise what?
Holding a cigar in his hand, Zhu Shihao looked at each other with a smile on his face. As a diplomat, he rarely expressed his inner thoughts.

"war!"

In the meeting room on the twelfth floor of the "American Company" headquarters building, after a moment's pause, Jonathan said.

"This is not what we want to see, so the purpose of my coming here this time is for peace!"

"Of course!"

Zhu Xianhai laughed.

"Peace is our common wish. I think there is nothing that cannot be resolved through negotiations!"

Of course, Zhu Xianhai was very clear about the purpose of Jonathan's visit, which was to resolve the issue of ownership of the Pampas grassland.

"Your Excellency, I'm glad you see it this way, but what we must pay attention to is that your expansion on the Pampas grassland..."

Before he could finish speaking, Nian Lu Renliang, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, spoke directly.

"Expansion? What is expansion? The Pampas grassland belongs to the Mapuche people. Even on the map of your country, it is clearly marked that the grassland belongs to "Indian land". Since it is not your land, you What qualifications do you have to dictate!"

Facing the stern refutation, Jonathan said indifferently.

"The words written on the map have no real effect, sir,"

This is the truest side of the colonists.

"Mr. Special Envoy, you can disrespect the words on the map, but you must respect the facts!"

After exhaling the smoke and holding the cigar between his fingers, Zhu Shi laughed.

"I think you have forgotten one thing. Our chairman has another identity - the king of the Mapuche people. As a king, he certainly has the right to do anything on his own land."

Who was the king of the kingdoms of Araucania and Patagonia?

It's Zhu Xianhai.

"That is the kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia, and this kingdom is not recognized by any civilized country."

How could Jonathan not know the other identity of Mr. Chairman?But it doesn't matter if you know, it's just an unrecognized country, where the aborigines play house.

"Besides, the Mapuche people on the Pampas grassland have long surrendered to the kingdom. As for the recognition that the grassland is the land of the kingdom, it is not important whether other countries recognize it. What is important is that the king will not give up the king's land !"

What is the title?
It is legitimacy. It doesn’t matter if outsiders admit it or not, as long as those Mapuche people admit it. With the title of king, Nanhua in the Pampas grassland is not expansion, but normal land development, normal land reclamation, Instead, Argentina.

"So you confirm that you are responsible for the actions of the Mapuche!"

It seems that Jonathan is not surprised by this answer.

"Of course, as a king, of course he is responsible for his subjects,"

"What about the Mapuche looting of Argentina? Mr. Minister, please note that in the past few decades, the Mapuche have attacked Argentine settlements again and again, resulting in tens of thousands of people being killed. Killed, robbed, property worth tens of millions of pesos destroyed, looted, Mr Minister, is His Majesty the King responsible for all of this.”

Long before he came to Nanhua, Jonathan knew that the other party would definitely use the "Kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia" as an example, so he specifically asked the relevant departments to report all the Mapuche events since Argentina's independence. The data on the attacks by people were compiled into a book, and after the losses in all aspects were counted, they were waiting to be thrown out at this time.

"If you need me to provide relevant information, I can provide all the information now, which is enough to prove that the Mapuche attack on Argentina caused more than [-] million pesos in losses. If the king of your country is responsible for the actions of the Mapuche , then I think we need to negotiate on this issue."

One hundred million pesos!
This is Argentina's loss, and in Jonathan's view, it is the kind that has a source and can withstand investigation. Of course, he does not mean compensation to the other party, after all, it is just a bargaining chip in the negotiation.

"Is [-] million pesos enough?"

Zhu Shihao sneered in his tone.

Jonathan raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little puzzled. Could it be that he doesn't know how to count?

But Zhu Shihao stared at Jonathan silently.

"This... we will not falsely report a peso!"

Jonathan seemed a little embarrassed. He really wanted to remind that this [-] million pesos was just a diplomatic bargaining chip. Do you need to explain in more detail?

This is certainly not in line with diplomatic tradition.

"Please rest assured that everything can stand the inspection."

He mumbled a little, and then began to babble on about the Mapuche raids on Argentina and the losses of the Argentines in those raids.

"I believe there must be an attack!"

After extinguishing the cigar between his fingers in the ashtray, Zhu Shihao said,
"Since it is an attack, you should be very clear why these attacks happened, because foreign invaders occupied their land. As the owner of the land, it is natural to attack the invaders, Mr. Special Envoy?"

When he said these words, Zhu Shihao remembered the decision made by the chairman before that - to transfer the troops stationed in Chile to the Shandong area. The content of this instruction was very clear - the chairman was no longer willing I have been entangled with the Argentines on certain issues!
But what about the Argentines?
They don't understand at all...

So Zhu Shihao smiled again, and looked at the representative of the country whose fate had been decided.

"What did you say?"

Jonathan asked in surprise.

"As the landowners, the Mapuche attack the invaders is a very normal thing. What's the explanation for this?"

Zhu Shihao repeated his answer again, as if he didn't notice Jonathan's confusion at all.

Confused!

Jonathan must not understand Zhu Shihao's answer, the owner of the land?Is he joking?When did those indigenous people become the masters of the land? It should be said that for the colonists, they were never the masters of the land.

What a joke, they are the masters of the land.

Not to mention others, but you, will your Nanhua side agree?

Taking a casual look at the other party, Zhu Shihao re-lit a cigar and put it out, then took a puff of smoke, and finally said in an extremely calm tone.

"As for compensation... I think we should discuss the issue of compensation for Argentina's occupation of the kingdom's land, what do you think? Mr. Special Envoy, I have a piece of information here, and we think we should have some basic discussions in this regard."

Negotiations broke down!
On the first day, it broke up because of too much disagreement!
