Alien Arms Empire.

In Chang'an, the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Forbidden City, Jiang Run and Nan Gonghong sat face to face, talking about the mirage country's hope of surrendering.

The Great Tang Empire did not intend to truly wipe out the mirage country when it launched a war against the mirage country: at least from a strategic point of view, Tang Mo did not expect to completely swallow the mirage country's four islands.

At the beginning, the Tang Empire's plan was to drive the goblins to the North Island, and then take the other three islands into their hands.

One of them was used as a resettlement site for orc slaves, and the other two were used for the country's own use.After all, Tang Mo, a modern person who traveled from the civilized world, really never thought of a horrible genocide in another world.

But now, a question is in front of the diplomats of the Tang Empire: what kind of conditions do they offer to Mirage, and then accept their surrender?

To be honest, with the current state of the war, if Tang Mo nodded in agreement, the entire Mirage Kingdom might be directly merged into the Tang Empire.

But the problem was that Tang Mo, as the emperor of the Tang Empire, really didn't want to accept races like goblins and orcs as citizens of the empire.That's tantamount to empowering these goblins and orcs!And do them a favor!

If they were accepted into the Tang Empire, then Tang Mo would have to admit that these people were also Tang people, which Tang Mo subconsciously didn't want.

You must know that there are too many people in this world who want to become Tang people. The Tang Empire has already tightened its immigration policy, which is what other countries in the world are happy to see.

After all, as long as they become citizens of the Great Tang Empire, even ordinary people have their own rights. As long as they are willing to undertake the obligations of citizens of the Great Tang Empire, they can enjoy the convenience that the Great Tang Empire brings to them.

So after Tang Mo absorbed the aborigines of Zheng State and Qi State, absorbed a large number of refugees from Chu State, and plundered a large number of people from the Dahua Empire, he was no longer willing to easily open the gap and accept outsiders.

Of course, if you are rich, very rich, and willing to accept the laws of the Tang Empire and willing to pledge allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire, then you still have a good chance of becoming a legal citizen of the Tang Empire.

The other kind of person is much simpler: as long as you have outstanding talents and contributions in a certain field, you can apply to become a legal citizen of the Datang Empire after being reviewed by the Empire's Immigration Department.

This condition includes but is not limited to: art, technology and other fields. To put it bluntly, if you are an eighth-level mechanic, then you can become a Tang person through your own craftsmanship and change your life.

"I didn't expect the mirage to be soft. Now the problem is on our side." Nan Gonghong complained to Jiang Run with some resentment.

Sometimes the troops on the front line fight too fast and too well, which makes diplomatic work difficult: the other party has no bargaining chips to surrender, so how do you ask for a price?

If you want minerals, you said that nearly ten million goblins will be crowded on the North Island in the future. There are only a few mines in total, and the income from farming is less because they are located in the north. If you don’t leave them some mines, what will so many people eat? ?
Want other things... The war has reached its current state, what else can Mirage have?Maybe there is still some money, but it may not be possible to get back much of the money.

All countries are very short of money. At this time, they have deducted the money that the goblins left in their local area.Counting on them to pay back the money, unless the Tang Empire came to ask for it in person... just a few gold coins, to be honest, the Tang Empire couldn't afford to lose that person.

Catching hundreds of thousands of goblins to work as laborers and repaying debts was originally planned, but now it can no longer be used as a bargaining chip.

Asking the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to set a condition that children and grandchildren will always be slaves and servants is a bit too inhuman.

In fact, it is not impossible to grit your teeth. It is also possible to force the goblins to send 100 laborers every year for 10 years to help the Tang Empire update its infrastructure... But the problem is that since the last anti-Tang war, the Tang Empire has restricted The diplomats have signed a contract with the other party for a period of more than two years.

This is also something that can’t be helped: Before the Anti-Tang War, the Datang Empire had long-term cooperation contracts with many countries: including ports leased for hundreds of years, including investment projects that need to last for decades, and also including those purchased by the Datang Group. Hundreds of mines.

But these things were affected by the war, causing the Tang Empire to suffer huge losses.After the war ended, some benefits were taken back by the Tang Empire, while others were denied due to various reasons.

For example, all countries have paid war reparations, but they have not returned the mines and ports purchased by Datang Group.

This is also because the Datang Empire was forced to cut off from the Datang Group at that time, and many countries took advantage of it: they thought that they had provided a lot of convenience when Tang Mo entered the Western Continent, and they did not take advantage of others' dangers. The benefits should be obtained.

Of course, the Tang Empire was at war with the Dahua Empire and the Chu State at that time, so it finally acquiesced to this fact.

Then the war ended with the Great Tang Empire's complete victory. The Great Tang Empire used aircraft technology to hit these countries hard, adding a little more twists and turns to this muddled account.

At that time, all countries knew that they were wrong, and finally admitted it with their noses pinched. Everyone tacitly agreed, and in the end the whole thing ended like this.

However, this matter still had a huge impact on the diplomacy of the Tang Empire: from then on, the Tang Empire would be very cautious when it came to mortgaging mineral resources.

So far, the Tang Empire has only secretly manipulated the Cyric Consortium to purchase some properties in the Eastern Continent, and these industries are only supplied to the Cyric Consortium, guaranteeing the production of the Cyric Consortium.

Jiang Run, who had heard the whole thing from many people, was also frowning: they were landlords, and they were going to blackmail their tenants, but after going there, they found that the tenants were too poor, and poor people couldn't blackmail them. the...

This is indeed an embarrassing thing. The empire is unwilling to accept the long-term contract and treaty, and there is no way to pick more meat from the bone of Mirage in the short term. The whole thing is really embarrassing.

"Otherwise... just reiterate our terms before the war?" After thinking about it, although it is a bit ridiculous to do so, it is indeed a no-way solution.Jiang Run racked his brains and could only suggest this.

Nan Gonghong's expression was wonderful. Doesn't this mean that they admitted that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was mentally retarded?Oh, the conditions for exemption from war before the start of the war are still the same after the war is won. How can there be such a thing in this world?
