A master of supernatural powers who started from low martial arts

Chapter 157 Negotiation under coercion

Valentin's expression changed, Sergey took a deep breath and said:
"General, according to various existing clues, it is shown that Lu Yuan is the biggest suspect, but the only problem is that we have no evidence to prove this. This still does not seem to be enough to explain to His Majesty the Tsar."

Valentin's eyes flickered, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly sneered:

"Evidence? Do you think we need evidence? As long as we need it, it must be him."

Sergey's eyes suddenly moved:
"what do you mean"

Valentin said indifferently:

"The deadline given by His Majesty the Tsar has expired. We must give an explanation. This Lu Yuan has both the motive and the ability, so he is the murderer of Okinez.

Okinez is also a cross-star general, and his death must not be in vain. It just so happens that the Shinra people whose church was burned just now will definitely not give up. We can take this opportunity to attack together and let Jin Ting execute the murderer. Then give satisfactory benefit compensation! "

Sergey's eyes moved and he smiled excitedly:

"The general is wise. The Rizhao Kingdom gained a lot of benefits from the previous naval battle. Now the empire has lost a cross-star general. It should receive sufficient compensation both emotionally and rationally!"

These people are all masters of power play, and they clearly understand that going to Jinjin to negotiate with Shinra is by no means a good thing.

Na Yan was standing in the hall, and his expression was extremely ugly:

As soon as this statement came out, several high-ranking military ministers all looked at each other without saying a word.

"Lafayette, the defeat of the Jin Ri Hai Battle is still vivid in my mind. Now that Da Jin cannot bear the second defeat in a short time, I believe that the war must not start under any circumstances!"

Snapped!
In the majestic and empty side hall of Cining Palace, Xi Ci threw the memorial in his hand on the table with a gloomy expression:

"Asshole, Jinjin is a place where concessions from the three countries gather and the situation is extremely complicated. What does Qi Yuanjiang do as a governor? How could he create such a big trap!"

As for the Jinting, although there was no fast information transmission method like wireless telegraphy, because Jinjin and Tianjing were so close, the memorial written by Qi Yuanjiang himself had been urgently sent to the palace before evening.

Because without even thinking about it, the Shinra side would definitely put forward all kinds of harsh demands and conditions on the grounds of the religious plan, and even recreate a treaty that would be humiliating and humiliating to the country. If the official responsible for the negotiation signed it on behalf of the imperial court, he would definitely be infamous and infamy for ever.

"Once the war begins, if there is even a slight decline, the other two great powers will be ready to take action. Even the rebellious officials and traitors in the country will not be able to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. Therefore, we must find a way to negotiate a peace with the Shinra side as soon as possible!"

Valentin smiled coldly:
"Okay, hurry up and send a telegram to the parliament, explain the situation to His Majesty the Tsar, and get permission to act!"

"Lafayette calm down, the matter is a foregone conclusion, now we still think about how to deal with it. According to Qi Yuanjiang's memorial, a mob including the Golden Knife Group burned down the church and killed five priests, fourteen nuns, and two believers. Thirteen people.

Sergey lowered his head:
"Yes!"

Therefore, in just one day, Shinra and Shae sent the news back to the country, causing waves of turmoil in their respective chambers and congresses.

Of course, as a subordinate, Qi Yuanjiang also arranged for someone to send a copy of the news to Na Yancheng, the governor who was still stationed in the capital. Na Yancheng was shocked when he learned the news and immediately went to the palace to ask for an audience.

Naturally, he understood that now was not the time to start a war with Shinra. Xi Ci had a calm face and said slowly:
"What you all said is reasonable. In that case, who would be willing to go to Jinjin to investigate and negotiate with Shinra at the same time?"

In today's era, in addition to the absolute advantages of giant iron-clad ships and steam airships, the great powers have also invented wireless telegraphy and put it into military use.

The length of the memorial was limited. Qi Yuanjiang did not go into too many details in the memorial, nor did he mention Lu Yuan's action.

This situation has happened many times, and we have learned from the past.

At this moment, not only Na Yancheng, but also several Jin clan military ministers from the military aircraft department in the side hall were also present, and they all spoke eagerly:
"The Dagukou fort has been demolished a long time ago. The Shinra fleet is much more powerful than Rizhao's armored ships. If there is a real war, how can Jinjin resist it?"

With the style of the Shinra people, it is impossible to recover after suffering such a big loss. It is said that they have wireless telegraph messages that can be transmitted in a moment. Now their parliament is probably aware of this news, and may have already dispatched the fleet. At most In just a few days, Jinjin will face the threat of the Shinra armored fleet! "

"I second the proposal! With the current situation in Dajin, the only way to go is through negotiation!"

however.

Xi Ci saw that the ministers were silent but did not give them a chance to shirk the blame. He immediately glared sharply and scolded:
"You are all the pillars of the country, but at present, no one has the courage to take on the important tasks? In that case, then Yancheng, as the governor of Jinjin, you have unshirkable responsibilities. You will be fully responsible for this matter!
The Aijia wants you to go to Jinjin as soon as possible to investigate the matter clearly and then negotiate with the Shinra Consulate. No matter how excessive the conditions they propose, don't refuse in a hurry. In short, stabilize the situation first and don't let the flames of war ignite in Jinjin! "

Na Yancheng secretly felt bitter in his heart, but as the governor of Jinjin Zhili, he had no room for excuse at all, so he could only bow and said dryly:

"In compliance with the order of Lord Buddha, I will do my best to calm the situation in Jinjin."

Xi Ci nodded and waved gently:
"Okay, let's all get down."

All the ministers immediately respectfully retired.

Wait until they leave.

In the side hall, the two wizards Cang Jige and Bu Tiansuo stepped out, frowning, and spoke one after another:
"It's unreasonable. At such a critical moment, something like this happened to Jinjin."

"Lord Buddha, should the ambush and killing be postponed?"

Xi Ci’s eyes were gloomy:

"Let's hold off for a while. The situation in Jinjin is on the verge of breaking out. It's really not easy to take action. We can wait until the Shinra people are calmed down and the situation is more stable before we implement the original plan."

Up to now.

After two months of nourishing and cultivating, she, a great martial arts master in the Tiangang Realm, has become thoroughly familiar with the usage and power of Abu Chulin's Spear, making her now even more powerful.

Holding this spear and unleashing the divine power of the divine spear with all its strength, even a master at the pinnacle of the true martial arts realm would never be able to take the second move under her hands!

This also made her confidence reach an unprecedented level, completely forgetting the dangerous situation when she was assassinated.

Now that the artifact was fully mastered, the plan to capture and kill Lu Yuan could be officially launched. However, she never thought that before the people under her had time to take action, the situation in Jinjin would change like this.

Now that it is clear how powerful Xi Ci is who holds the Spear of Abu Chulin, the two great witches Cang Jige and Butiansuo both smiled:

"Now that Lafayette has participated in creation, his strength is unparalleled in the world. Killing the traitors can only be done in a matter of seconds, so there is no need to rush."

"Negotiations to stabilize the situation will only take more than a month at most. Under the leadership of Lafayette, this thief will be beheaded and all secrets will be revealed!"

"Yeah, just wait a little longer."

Xi Ci, who had been preparing for a long time, could not help but look forward to it at this moment, and said quietly:

"When the time comes, I hope that the secret of immortality in this thief will not disappoint the Ai family."

The day flies by. News about the Jinjin mission case was still brewing. Early the next morning, Na Yancheng reluctantly went to Jinjin again with his staff and a group of soldiers.

After all, the process of negotiating with the HRE people, who have always been domineering, will definitely not be pleasant;

The more important aspect is that Jinjin, who had fled in embarrassment under the threat of Lu Yuan's life and death some time ago, now has to return here, and it is naturally hard to understand how he feels in his heart.

And once back to Jinjin.

He summoned Qi Yuanjiang immediately and learned about the specific situation.

After learning that during yesterday's riot that attacked the concession, Lu Yuan actually showed up to take action, and even caused a priest to commit suicide on the spot, Na Yancheng was furious, frightened, and furious.

Especially Qi Yuanjiang also informed that the culprit who led the people to burn the church and attack the concession: Cao Futian and others from the Golden Sword Regiment temporarily stayed in the Guangwu Hall. Na Yancheng was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and he was photographed on the spot. table.

Obviously, Lu Yuan had clearly calculated that the government might compromise with the foreigners and settle the matter, so he protected the culprit in advance. What he did could be said to be lawless and rampant to the extreme.

However, no matter how angry Na Yancheng was, there was nothing he could do.

He would never dare to trouble Lu Yuan.

The other party dared to break into the Forbidden Palace, and was able to retreat safely under the hands of peerless experts like Xi Ci. If he annoys the other party now, even if he has thousands of troops and horses to protect him, he might fall asleep. Head.

As a result, Na Yancheng could only hold his nose and ignore Lu Yuan, Cao Futian and others, and first arranged for Qi Yuanjiang to invite Victor from the Shinra Consulate in his own name for negotiations.

However, he never thought that all the official letters he sent fell into the sea. The people of Shenluo did not take him as the governor of Zhili in the eyes at all, and ignored his invitation.

This situation lasted for three days. Just when Na Yancheng was restless and prepared to visit the consulate in person, Shinra finally gave a response, claiming that the country had sent a minister specifically to deal with the matter and would go to the government office tomorrow morning. Negotiate with Na Yancheng.

After finally getting a reply, Na Yancheng asked Qi Yuanjiang to arrange his officials to prepare for the first negotiation tomorrow.

On the morning of the second day.

The entire government office was decorated solemnly and solemnly.

Na Yancheng, Qi Yuanjiang and even all the staff officials were dressed in costumes and were waiting for people from Shinra to arrive.

However, suddenly, Liu Guobai, the prime minister of the government, was shocked and walked in quickly from outside, reporting:
"Your Majesty the Governor, Your Majesty the Governor, it's not good!"

"On the sea outside the port, a Shinra armored fleet suddenly appeared! The three leading ships are all 10,000-ton giant ships, and they are staring at the sea!!"

what! ?

The 10,000-ton giant ship has a maximum range of artillery fire covering forty to fifty miles. It can basically burn half of Jinjin into ruins at sea. Now that the Dagukou fort has been demolished, there is no way to deal with it.

Under such circumstances, more than ten officials and staff including Qi Yuanjiang in the government office hall were horrified and stood up suddenly:
"What's going on? How could this happen?"

"Are the Shinra people going to fight without even wanting to talk?"

After all, Na Yancheng was the governor of Zhili. He had seen the domineering style of the Shinluo people in the past, so he calmly shouted:

"Why are you panicking!? This is a demonstration method of the Shinra people, deliberately done for us to see. Can you still not understand!?"

"Everyone sit down and wait quietly! Let's see what kind of conditions they will put forward!"

After Na Yancheng's words, the negotiators present calmed down somewhat and sat down quickly to continue waiting.

After a while, officers and soldiers hurriedly came in and announced:

"My lords, the Shinra people are here."

In this negotiation, the imperial court, which only wanted to avoid war and seek peace, was undoubtedly in a weak position. Na Yancheng was completely unable to act like a governor, so he could only stand up with a long sigh and said:
"Everyone, come with me to greet you."

Ever since.

Qi Yuanjiang and other officials followed, walked out of the government office hall, passed through the front hall and came to the government office gate to wait.

As soon as the group of people came out, a convoy was slowly approaching on the avenue not far away, with elite Shinra soldiers trotting behind it on both sides of the convoy.

Soon, the motorcade stopped in front of the government office, and the Shinra soldiers opened the doors of the cars one after another. Immediately, tall and arrogant Shinra people walked out, looking around with arrogance.

Among this group of people were Victor, the impressive consul, and Williams, the chief knight stationed in the Holy See. But the most eye-catching one was the one who both of them looked up to with respect, a man wearing a cape and a white navy suit. A tall Shinra man in general uniform.

This man was about fifty years old, tall and tall, holding a pipe, with a face full of grooves, and a pair of eagle-eyed blue eyes, full of indescribable domineering and arrogance.

After he got out of the car, he casually glanced at Na Yancheng and others, and then said in rather poor Chinese:
"Who among you can speak effectively?"

These few words were filled with the arrogance and contempt of the strong looking down on the weak. Na Yancheng's eyelids twitched and he showed a forced smile:
"This governor is Na Yancheng, the governor of Jinjin. He was appointed by Lord Buddha to be solely responsible for handling the Jinjin religious case. I wonder who you are?"

"Lafayette?"

Jonathan showed a playful smile and did not answer Na Yancheng's question. He just said:
"I heard that you, the Empress Dowager, have lived for more than 120 years and are still very active and listening to politics behind the curtain. Is this true or false?"

The other party's words and deeds did not impress Jin Ting or even Xi Ci at all. Na Yancheng suppressed his anger:

"Of course it is true, but it has nothing to do with our negotiations today. Who are you? Can you represent Shinra?"

Consul Victor immediately stepped forward and said proudly:
"The person in front of you is the commander-in-chief of our Royal Navy's Fourth Fleet, Admiral Jonathan. He is also a seventh-level Holy Bauhinia Knight canonized by His Majesty the Pope himself. He is more powerful than the so-called martial arts master of your Jin Dynasty. Noble! As appointed by His Majesty the Pope, he will be the representative of our Shinra people to negotiate with you!"

"It turns out to be Admiral Jonathan, whom I have admired for a long time."

The seventh-level Holy Bauhinia Knight represents the extraordinary military power of the admiral in front of him. Na Yancheng's slightly fearful eyelids twitched, and then he raised his hand with a smile and said:
"Outside is not the place to talk. The negotiation venue has been prepared. Please come in and discuss in detail."

Jonathan nodded slightly, holding a pipe in his mouth and walking towards the government office at a striding pace, as if he was the master here.

The group of people filed into the government office hall, and then took their seats on both sides of the long table.

Na Yancheng pretended to be calm, looked at Admiral Jonathan opposite, and said:

"Admiral Jonathan, you should have heard about what happened in Jinjin. I think this was purely an accident. It is not worth breaking the peace and fighting swords between our two countries. What do you think?"

Jonathan tapped the pipe in his hand and said slowly:
"Accident? You, the lowly mob of the Jin Dynasty, have killed so many believers of the Lord, and your behavior is no different from the devil. No one in the empire thinks it is an accident. The fleet under my command is parked near the coast. How to handle this matter If we fail to satisfy the empire, the entire Jinjin will pay the price with blood."
