District 9

In the lounge of the Sichuan delegation, Coco closed the door and asked Lin Chengdong, "Is this room safe?"

"Safe." Lin Chengdong nodded: "Before entering the house, we searched it carefully inside and out. There was no eavesdropping equipment."

Coco stepped to the window, opened it, and let in the cold wind outside: "Let's talk here."

"Yes, it's better to be cautious." Lin Chengdong also walked to the window.

"Has Jiang Xue replied to your message?" Coco asked in a low voice.

"I'm back." Lin Chengdong took out his mobile phone, played music, and placed it on the window sill: "But there are a lot of people, and it's not over yet."

"You can't pick them up one by one." Coco said with a slight frown: "This will attract other people's attention, and the other party will not give it in vain. When they look at the big ones, they will also pay attention to the small ones."

"The problem is that there is not enough time." Lin Chengdong thought for a while and replied: "The other party came up with such harsh conditions, and we can't delay it even if we want to delay it. I guess if the news gets back, if Xiao Yu doesn't explode, the Eighth District will also explode. "

"Let's change the perspective and consider the issue from the other side's standpoint. First, do they want to fight a civil war because of equity issues? My personal preference is that they definitely don't want to fight unless they have to. Because Sichuan Mansion, Gu Clan, and Jia Chen Clan, the three forces are twisted into one rope. If they really fight, the cost to them will be immeasurable. If they are not sure, they will not dare to attack first." Coco said with a very serious face: "Second, they don't want to fight, so why do they put forward such harsh conditions? The answer is simple. Firstly, they want to increase their negotiating space, and secondly, they want to delay time."

When Lin Chengdong heard this, he asked with some confusion: "I understood the first part, but I didn't understand the second part. Why did they delay the time?"

"Because we hold more equity and have invested more upfront, we definitely want to get the return on Yandao's interests as soon as possible, instead of holding a pile of waste paper holding equity." Coco explained in detail : "On this point, they really hit our fate. Because even if the Sichuan government is not anxious, the Eighth District is anxious. In the matter of Yandao, the Eighth District has invested too much, and now the equity The distribution has been made clear, and the Eighth District must be afraid of long nights and dreams. So if we delay it, we will be anxious, and it will be easier for them to talk."

"I understand." Lin Chengdong nodded slowly.

"After this analysis, we know the general motivation of the other party. Therefore, I think the negotiations will continue for a few rounds, which will leave us time." Coco thought for a while and said: "I am going to fight Xiao Yu. Make a phone call and tell him what’s going on here.”

"you mean?"

"The peripheral scenes must also be realistic." Coco said with bright eyes: "Only if there is a real reaction from the Sichuan government, can we attract the attention of the people here, otherwise they will become suspicious."

"Then will you tell Xiao Yu the truth?" Lin Chengdong asked.

"No," Coco shook his head: "You can't tell him. He is the leader and the leader of the Sichuan government. He cannot be stained with dirty water. Moreover, it will be more difficult for him to do what he said. There may be other voices."

Lin Chengdong looked at Coco blankly, sighed and said, "Oh, sometimes, I really envy Xiao Yu..."

"We can't see his difficulties." Coco paused, turned to look out the window, and whispered softly: "For example, he is so dignified that he doesn't even dare to say an outrageous word to me. How can a person live? There are so many things going your way, but it’s not easy.”

Lin Chengdong lowered his head for a while: "Yes, too."

"Forget it, let's not talk about personal matters." Coco waved her little hand, changed the subject and said: "You have to keep an eye on Jiang Xue and ask him to move faster. As I said again, we have to find a time to do it all at once Finish things, don’t do it bit by bit, otherwise the other party will definitely react, and when the time comes we don’t have enough chips and we’ll be in trouble.”

"I understand." Lin Chengdong nodded.

Coco glanced at her watch: "Let me call him."

"good!"

…

Inside the Chongdu Autonomous Federation.

After listening to Keke's report, Qin Yu frowned and cursed: "Damn it, are these people dreaming? Such conditions are not acceptable here, let alone Gu's."

"Don't get angry first, this won't solve any problem." Coco persuaded softly: "I personally feel that they just want to increase the negotiation space, but the direction should be this direction. Port construction, troop garrison power, and economic benefit distribution , they all have to intervene, and their share is not small.”

Whenever Qin Yu heard Ke Keyun's calm words, he could always relieve his negative emotions. He thought for a moment and asked, "Where do you think the critical point of the negotiation is?"

"We agree to the three key points I just mentioned, then we can negotiate; if we don't agree and veto most of the conditions they put forward, then they should dare to open fire." Coco thought for a moment and replied: "Of course, military I don’t understand what’s going on. I only analyze it based on the feelings the other party gave me during the negotiation.”

"Okay, I understand." Qin Yu frowned and said, "In the next two days, you must not have any contact with the other party."

"Okay." Coco already understood what Qin Yu meant, so he tried to persuade him: "Don't be too hasty. Negotiations are always going to be tough."

"I know it well."

"Well, that's it."

After saying that, the two ended the call.

…

It was about nine o'clock that night.

The Second Field Army of the Lin Department in the Eighth World War II Area suddenly departed from the Qufu Garrison Area and approached Sichuan. This army was newly reorganized, and its commander was also newly named Lin Cheng.

District 7, General Administration of the Military Department, Zhou Xingli stepped in and looked at Xu Hancheng and asked: "What do you think of this matter?"

"Psychological warfare, ignore him." Xu Hancheng said sonorously: "Maybe you can send an army out to garrison in the direction of Jiangzhou to fight back."

"Are the conditions a little harsh?" the military chief of staff said, holding his shoulders.

"It's not like you don't know Gu Tai'an's style of doing things. If you take one step back, he will dare to take two steps forward. We must not give in when it comes to absolute interests." Xu Hancheng paused and said, "The troops must be transferred out. But we can be a little nicer at the negotiating table."

"Okay, let's do it." Zhou Xingli made the decision.

…

Jiujiang city center.

Coco sat in the car, holding the phone and asked: "Brother Paulin, wait until the peripheral matters are settled before you move here. Don't show your face these days, just stay well."

Paulin was silent for a long time, then whispered back: "It's best to give me some information first, I need someone to run on the road."

Coco glanced at her watch: "I'll tell you after I've inquired."
