District 9

Feng Ji was in favor of the evacuation plan with both hands and feet, because he didn't want to continue fighting with the coalition forces in the Lu District, let alone fight any more battles. Now he just wanted to escape as far as he could.

After the people from the headquarters finished talking to him, they truthfully informed him of the evacuation time of the Lu District troops and left immediately.

After the people left, Feng Ji also held a meeting within the Corps to discuss the evacuation plan.

Many Feng family elders do not want to leave their homeland. They know that if they leave this time, they may not be able to come back in their lifetime.

The atmosphere in the conference room was depressing. A major general smoked a cigarette and lowered his head and said: "Commander, after running here from the ninth district, we are living under someone else's roof... It is already difficult. If we withdraw from the three major districts... then our situation is that we are living under someone else's roof." If you live under someone else's roof...it will be difficult in the future."

Feng Ji was not so sad. He just replied calmly: "What if we don't leave? When the Zhou faction withdraws and the coalition forces occupy Luhuai, who among us will end well?"

Everyone was silent.

"Compromise with reality." Feng Ji said with a long sigh.

In this way, the Feng Ji Corps was the first military unit to respond to the evacuation of all the later-incorporated troops.

…

after one day.

In the Zhou Clan headquarters in Luhuai, an officer found Zhou Xingli and said quickly: "Commander, the bandits in Yanbei sent a telegram requesting dialogue with the higher-ups."

Zhou Xingli was very annoyed when he heard this. After thinking about it for a long time, he immediately waved his hand and replied: "I'm too lazy to talk to them. Let Li Bokang talk to them."

"yes!"

After the officer completed his report, he notified Li Bokang immediately, and the latter called Yanbei from the standpoint of the headquarters.

The two sides held a video conference, and the person in charge of the coalition side was Meng Xi.

"We don't need to make any opening remarks, let's be simple and direct." Meng Xi said with a very serious face in the video: "First, the Zhou Clan bandit army is leaving...,"

"I would like to emphasize that the prerequisite for our dialogue is mutual respect. Please don't use the title of bandit army, okay?" Li Bokang interrupted and replied.

Meng Xi glanced at him and continued: "The Zhou bandit army chose to withdraw. Our attitude is to strongly condemn it. This behavior of dividing the Chinese is shameful and will be remembered by history. But now that the matter has become a fact , we advise you from the position of the largest political body in the three major Chinese regions. First, when the Zhou Clan leaves, they must unconditionally declare their surrender to the Eighth District Government and take the initiative to assume war responsibilities; second, the direct line troops of the bandit army It is possible to evacuate, but the internal order of Luhuai must be guaranteed and the safety of people's lives and property must be ensured; thirdly, the military forces originally belonging to the Seventh District should be taken over by us. We require that the Southern Patrol Fleet in Luhuai must be Delivered at Tianjin Port..."

After hearing what Meng Xi said, Li Bokang laughed angrily: "Do you think it's possible?"

"If the Zhou faction bandits do not agree to the terms of the peace talks, the coalition forces will send troops to Luhuai to block the evacuation plan." Meng Xi said bluntly.

"Can you afford to fight?" Li Bokang asked, "Aren't you afraid that Salt Island will be lost?"

"I don't believe that the fleet of the EU Region 1 can wander around the Asia-EU waters every day." Meng Xi replied calmly.

Li Bokang thought about it for a long time: "I think the smell of gunpowder between us is too strong. Let's talk calmly. If the Zhou Clan evacuates Luhuai, it will invisibly promote your unification plan. To put it simply, the troublemakers are gone. , the territory has also been given up, and you have accomplished the feat of unification without firing a shot. Isn’t this the greatest benefit return?"

"Our positions are different from yours, and our ways of thinking about problems are also different."

"What's the difference?"

"We are orthodox, you are bandits." Meng Xi replied proudly.

"Haha." Li Bokang smiled: "... If you fight, you will lose, but if you negotiate, you will win. Although the EU fleet in the first region will not be permanently stationed in the ASEAN waters, judging from the amount of ammunition they currently carry, it will be a win-win situation for both parties. Salt Island is not a problem, and it is not a problem for the coalition forces to suffer large-scale losses. You say it is orthodox, but you must also consider the people in Luhuai. At present, there is no way out for both you and me. If there is a war, how many people will die in the city?! "

"You don't need to play the emotional card with me. Unification, both for the troops and the nation, is a bitter experience now, but will bring prosperity to the country in the future." Meng Xi still said calmly: "So... the price must be It’s got to give.”

Li Bokang finally discovered why Qin Yu likes to use Meng Xi. He is really a very offensive person and reacts quickly. In negotiations, he can also effectively avoid his own weaknesses and seize the other party's weaknesses.

Both parties were silent for a while, and then Li Bokang took the lead in compromising and said: "...Okay, I will truthfully report the conditions you mentioned to me first, and then we will talk."

"Don't delay. I will reply within six hours."

"...!" Li Bokang looked at Meng Xi, nodded slowly and said, "Okay!"

After the two communicated, the video conference ended.

After Li Bokang left the conference room, he immediately called Zhou Xingli: "Their attitude is very firm. If we don't compromise on some conditions, the other side is prepared to fight."

Zhou Xingli gritted his teeth and replied in a low voice: "I understand, your evacuation deployment must also be accelerated."

"clear!"

…

An hour later, Yanbei came.

Meng Xi was sitting in the lounge, drinking tea and said to Qin Yu, "Li Bokang is blind for nothing."

"how to say?"

"It's a bit like the last number one scholar in the Qing Dynasty, who was just promoted... he was paralyzed and the country perished." Meng Xi said with gloating.

Qin Yu looked at him sideways: "Not everyone is as lucky as you. After being a bandit for two days, you got into the system in a daze, and accidentally...founded the country."

"Hehe." Meng Xi grinned: "Our family has this gene, and we know how to take sides and pick the winner."

"You are really getting better and better at speaking." Qin Yu nodded happily.

"Commander, I can tell from the conversation with Li Bokang... that he doesn't want to fight. I guess Zhou Xingli did this because of him." Meng Xi continued: "If Lao Zhou doesn't compromise, then we We must still oppress the other side militarily."

Qin Yu thought for a long time and said concisely: "Order the Li Zhan Department, Lin Cheng Department, and Qi Lin Department to advance towards Luhuai. I have to show my sword and don't let Zhou Xingli think that we are quarreling with him. .”

…

Ma Laoer was sitting in Jiangzhou, looking at the withdrawal information of a large number of enemy troops, and kept thinking: "Damn it, how can I poke Lao Zhou in the butt?"

"I want to make a fuss about the navy." Brother Xiao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, yawned and said, "Some people want to leave, and some don't want to leave."

"Yes!" Ma Laoer nodded in agreement.
