The iron-fisted and impartial execution of the law is known to all countries.

What is considered legal in the United States, Maple Leaf Country, India and other places may be severely sanctioned in Kyushu. Therefore, when Markham made this statement at this time, his inner thoughts were almost self-evident.

If it were someone else, they might feel offended and leave in anger. After all, the Maple Leaf Country is currently in a situation where it needs help, and such words are indeed a bit harsh and it is hard not to think too much.

This was indeed the case. As soon as Markham's remarks came out, Wang Bo and Zhang Guo's faces immediately turned gloomy, with anger flashing in their eyes, staring directly at Markham. However, Mr. Xu remained calm and expressionless, making him unpredictable.

Mr. Xu was already accustomed to such scenes. He knew very well that no matter what purpose Markham had in saying such things, it was not a serious matter.

What's more, judging from his experience, Markham may have said it unintentionally. After all, the cultural customs of different countries vary greatly, and the taboos are also different.

Sure enough, seeing the angry expressions of Wang Bo and Zhang Guo, Markham was confused and at a loss.

He muttered to himself, "What's going on? Did I say something wrong? Why do the two people next to General Xu look so weird?"

Markham's secretary immediately realized the problem when he saw this. He gently reminded Markham: "Mr. President, usury is strictly prohibited in Kyushu. This word is not welcome here."

Markham suddenly realized that he had accidentally said a sensitive word, which led to the current tense atmosphere. He quickly apologized: "I'm so sorry, I didn't know this word had such a meaning in Kyushu. If my words were offensive, I will take them back immediately."

Markham's attitude was sincere, and Wang Bo and Zhang Guo's expressions also eased. Mr. Xu laughed, defusing the awkward atmosphere: "It doesn't matter, Mr. President is not from Kyushu, so it's normal that he doesn't understand this matter. We understand you."

Afterwards, Mr. Xu explained the interest issue in detail, with righteous words and full of persuasion. Markham was stunned and didn't even react. He asked in confusion: "Then the United States and the United States..."

Mr. Xu knew what he wanted to ask and gave a positive answer. Markham was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He couldn't believe that the United States and the United Kingdom also accepted such interest.

Seeing Markham's confusion, Mr. Xu motioned for Zhang Guo to take out another document. He explained, "If you cannot accept this interest rate, we also provide another option."

Markham couldn't wait to take the document and was shocked after reading it carefully. It turned out that Kyushu was willing to accept navigation and surveying technology as a substitute for interest. He exclaimed: "This is what Kyushu really wants!"

Faced with such a choice, Markham was in a dilemma. He knew that this was a carefully prepared strategy by Kyushu, but he had no choice. In the end, after careful consideration, he chose the option that was most beneficial to Maple Leaf Country.

……

After bidding farewell to President Markham, Wang Bo, Zhang Guo and Xu Lao could no longer contain their inner joy, and the smiles they had been holding back finally broke out.

"That's great. I didn't expect today's negotiations to go so smoothly!" Wang Bo said excitedly.

"Yes, President Markham looks very serious, even calmer than President William. He speaks so directly that I thought he said that word on purpose." Zhang Guo couldn't help laughing.

"President Markham has that kind of personality. He was like this in previous public meetings. We don't need to take it too seriously, as long as we achieve our ultimate goal." Mr. Xu said calmly, but there was a gleam of joy in his eyes.

"Yes, that's true. I'm so happy now!" Wang Bo expressed his joy again.

They immediately told Tao Ping and others the good news. Tao Ping and others were overjoyed and said that they would hold a celebration banquet for them and reward them well after all the meetings were over.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day.

President Radi of Asan arrived with his secretary as scheduled. They did not come to Nanjia Mansion in advance, but took a special plane to arrive in Kyushu on time. Due to the time difference, they slept on the plane and arrived in Kyushu the next day.

The distance from the airport to Nanjia Mansion is very short, and they took an exclusive passage, so they had a smooth journey and appeared in the meeting room on time.

……

President Radi seemed to be a little entangled in the face of Document No. 1 and Document No. 2. He was also faced with a choice between two options, and both options were not satisfactory, so he could only compare which one was worse.

There was no expression on Radi's dark face. Except for his white teeth, everything else was black. He happened to be wearing a black suit, and he almost blended into the suit. Others could not judge his emotions from the expression on his face.

I don't know if it was for this purpose that President Radi chose a suit as dark as his skin to hide his emotions. However, although his facial expression was normal, his fingers tapped the table unconsciously and frequently.

"Dong dong!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The knocking sound became faster and faster, revealing his inner restlessness and anxiety. This was a subconscious action of his, and because he was too focused on the documents, he didn't even notice the sound he made.

The secretary did not dare to remind Radi because the discipline in India is strict and subordinates have no right to criticize the behavior of their superiors.

In India, President Radi is a person who can say anything and no one can refute it. In this case, he does not consider that his actions may bring bad experience to others. Over time, he developed this habit, and his subordinates dare not say much.

In addition, India has a hard rule: because Radi is from the royal family, everyone who sees him must kneel. While other countries are pursuing democracy, freedom, and human rights, India still retains the meaning of the supremacy of the royal family. They are extremely indulgent to the royal family, and at the same time extremely cruel to civilians who break the law.

However, Radi has many children and wives, and the noble status of the royal family may not be a constraint for them.

Radi's children and wife would also kneel down when they saw him.

Some time ago, one of his wives fled India with their daughter to seek international help.

Kyushu had supported them. Therefore, it was still somewhat awkward to see President Radi now, although both sides kept silent about it.

Radi turned the ring on his finger and said pretentiously: "Excuse me, these two documents are unreasonable and I cannot accept them. Is there any third-party contract? You know, super warship technology cannot be measured by money. It is the treasure of India. Kyushu is really not very kind in this regard. I believe that the United States and the United Kingdom will not accept such interest!"

Radi felt that what he said made sense, and he was a little smug. He thought that although the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Maple Leaf Country had already concluded the negotiations, India, Simi, and Japan were completely unaware of the specific situation.

He thought these countries were only superficial allies and that the relationship was fragile and vulnerable.

When he saw this document, he subconsciously thought that the United States and others would have a better choice. Either they would be given a different interest rate from that for himself, or the United States, the United Kingdom and others would simply reject the document.

On the whole, he is more inclined to the second scenario.

Radi thought that after being rejected successively by the United States, Britain and other countries, Kyushu must be getting anxious.

At this time, he needs to act tougher so that Kyushu will automatically lower interest rates.

This is also profitable for Kyushu. According to normal interest rates, Kyushu can not only obtain certain profits, but also have a good reputation internationally.

This is simply killing two birds with one stone, who would refuse?

However, President Radi is a little self-righteous, and he himself has not realized it, so he is a little pretentious and arrogant.

In his opinion, he was the person with the highest status in the meeting room and there was no need for him to accommodate others.

However, seeing his smug, overbearing and arrogant look, Mr. Xu and others wanted to laugh.

Mr. Xu said bluntly: "I'm sorry, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Maple Leaf Country have already agreed to one of the two documents. If President Radi feels that these conditions are not acceptable, then unfortunately, this meeting may end here. I'm not kidding, Kyushu Country is not short of partners, and your country's technology is just icing on the cake for us. If there is no way to successfully trade, we will have regrets, but that's all!"

Facing President Radi's arrogant behavior, Mr. Xu responded bluntly. He did not tolerate Radi's arrogance just because he was the president.

In Kyushu, everyone is equal, and even if the president comes, there should be no difference because of his status.

President Radi can be proud of his country's technology, strength, etc., but he should not put on airs on Kyushu's territory when he needs help!

Even Minister Tim of the United States, President William of the United Kingdom, and President Markham of the Maple Leaf Country do not have such a style!
Radi felt like he was slapped in the face.

On the surface, there was nothing wrong with what Mr. Xu said, but between the lines he revealed his disapproval of him, and even an order to expel him.

If you want to continue the negotiations, then do it in a nice manner; if you keep acting so condescending, you might as well go back to your own country!

This is what Mr. Xu wanted to express. Although he did not say it explicitly, his tone and intonation were very normal, and President Radi deeply understood the meaning.

He didn't have time to be angry, but was more thinking about how the United States, Britain and other countries actually agreed to this.

"How is it possible..." President Radi couldn't help but exclaimed.

He was just thinking that no one would agree to such a document. This was pure robbery!
However, before he could finish his words, he was slapped in the face by reality.

Naturally, I couldn't say what I wanted to say anymore and could only keep it in my heart.

"This... this..." President Radi said with a cold sweat, stammering. His whole train of thought was now disrupted, and he didn't know what to choose.

Radi personally is not short of money, he is very rich; but the Indian government does not have that much funding.

He certainly won't do anything to use his own personal funds to ease fiscal austerity.

The Indian government is indeed short of money, but it is impossible for him to pay for it himself!

Once the money goes into President Radi's pocket, it won't go out so easily. He is a president, but also a capitalist. Radi doesn't want to pay the money, nor does he want to sell the super warship technology to Kyushu.

After much thought, I had no choice but to choose file number one.

Although the interest rate is a bit high, you don’t have to pay it back immediately, so two years is still plenty of time.

When the situation in India gets a little better, he can just take the money out of taxes or something, so he doesn't have to pay for it or sell technology. Anyway, everything he does is for the people, so it's reasonable for them to pay for it.

Therefore, President Radi chose Document No. 1 without hesitation. This choice would not bring him any trouble in the short term, nor would it have any hidden dangers, and it would also give him some money to slow down the process, killing two birds with one stone!
Xu Lao and others were not surprised by President Radi's choice. After all, it was a choice between two options. They could just ignore it if they disagreed. Whether it was Document No. 1 or Document No. 2, it would bring countless benefits to Kyushu.

……

On the fifth day, Jiuzhou Kingdom also successfully established a cooperative relationship with Simi Kingdom.

The Simi Kingdom also chose Document No. 1, and received 5 billion U.S. dollars in aid from the Jiuzhou Kingdom, with a deadline of two years to repay it. The total amount including principal and interest was nearly 7 billion U.S. dollars.

Why didn't they consider Document No. 2 and exchange technology? That's because there was no Document No. 2!
At the beginning, Mr. Xu and others did not consider what technology the Simi country could offer in exchange.

To be honest, it is not that Xu Lao and others despise Jiuzhou, but that Simi cannot be compared with Jiuzhou in many technical fields, such as fighter jets, warships, satellites, 5G, etc. Simi can hardly produce decent results in these fields. The only thing worth mentioning is perhaps the flagship product of their country's Four Star Group - the Four Star mobile phone.

However, the government of Simi Country has almost no control over large chaebols like the Six-Star Group, and may be controlled by them. This is also known to the people of Kyushu. On Weibo, a certain website and other platforms, many people are speculating that the Six-Star Group is the real mastermind behind Simi Country.

Today, Kyushu also has its own national brand, especially in the field of smartphones, and is not particularly interested in four-star technology. Therefore, for President Park, the choice is not complicated, it is just a matter of choosing one or the other.

Although President Park was surprised by the high interest rate when he saw the document, he agreed without much hesitation. (End of this chapter)
