Chapter 1746 1747 Sincere Negotiation Conditions

If they could win, the dwarf negotiators would not be so humble as to sit here and let the Tang army generals boss them around. What you can't get on the battlefield, you are destined to not be able to get at the negotiation table. This is the truth, and it will never change.

"..." After a few seconds of silence, the dwarf representative finally spoke with difficulty, placing the authorization document he brought with him on the table humiliatingly: "This is my authorization document. We request that you suspend your attack on us during the negotiation..."

"Okay." To the dwarves' surprise, Ying An agreed to the request immediately, as if he didn't realize that this was a delaying tactic of the dwarves.

However, Ying An's subsequent words made the dwarves want to cry again: "But I can only talk with you for one day. If we can't reach any results within one day, then we can only let our cannons continue to debate on the battlefield."

He had no time to waste on verbal battles with the dwarf representatives. His troops were ready to launch a large-scale attack at any time.

In order to prepare for this attack, he even gathered various new weapons and equipment, including night vision goggles sufficient for 20,000 people to launch attacks at night, as well as sufficient weapons and ammunition.

Theoretically, he didn't need any negotiations at all. He was sure to flatten Ironforge with just today's time.

But out of humanitarian considerations, or to put it bluntly, the civil officials' assessment of the difficulty of ruling after the occupation, the army still gave the dwarves one last chance.

As long as the other party is willing to accept unconditional surrender, everything can be negotiated. At least the killing can be stopped, and countless soldiers can survive this massacre.

"In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to give up Ironforge, retain only the existing territory in the southern region, and become a vassal state of the Tang Empire forever." The dwarf representative, who knew that there was no way to change anything, gritted his teeth and began to talk about his own surrender conditions.

To be honest, what he said was very humiliating: the first point was equivalent to recognizing the Tang Empire's legal occupation of more than two-thirds of the territory of the Ice Empire.

And all this is not over yet, because it is obvious that these lands were conquered by the Tang Empire itself, and it has nothing to do with whether the dwarves cede them or not. So, the real content is still to come.

The dwarf negotiator continued, "Our emperor is willing to abdicate and take your emperor as his master. He will return to being the king, and the Ice Empire will be renamed the Kingdom..."

This was a concession made in name only. Since he had already humbled himself, he could no longer pretend to be equal. If he lowered his status to become the king, perhaps everyone would feel better about their appearance.

Ying An did not speak, because he knew that the conditions he offered would be difficult for the other party to accept for a while, so he was very patient and waited for the other party to finish speaking.

Sure enough, after talking about the concessions in land and status, the actual benefits were finally brought to the table. As expected, it was basically war reparations: "In addition, we are willing to pay the Tang Empire 30 billion gold coins, which will be repaid in 50 years... We promise to open border trade forever, and the tariff will be decided by negotiation with your country..." Frankly speaking, the other party was indeed very sincere and gave a sky-high compensation in one breath. Even a fool could see that this money could not be taken out in a short period of time. The other party also gave a very feasible period: less than million per year, which was barely enough to pay with the remaining land of the dwarves at this stage.

In addition, the other party also creatively made tariff concessions, and it can be seen that they are really prepared to make unilateral peace with the Tang Empire.

This is not a joke. The Binghan Empire really can no longer fight. Binghan I knows that with every day he persists, he will have fewer bargaining chips in his hand, so his wisest choice is to sign the peace treaty as soon as possible.

In addition, in terms of military and diplomacy, the other party offered very attractive conditions, such as limiting the number of troops that the Ice Kingdom could form, and that the Ice Kingdom would firmly maintain consistency with the Tang Empire in diplomacy.

It can be said that after the signing of such a peace treaty, the Ice Kingdom is just a large mirage island that is independent in name only.

For an emperor, this was definitely a humiliation. But Binghan I still held his nose and endured it, which showed that he was no longer the emperor who was determined to die for his country in Ironforge a month ago.

"I can feel the sincerity of your country." Even Ying An had to admit that the dwarves did "want to negotiate," but he still couldn't agree to it.

Because now, everyone in the Tang Empire has been thinking about the strange and new word "great unification". More than a year ago, people didn't often talk about this word, but now this word appears from time to time in major newspapers in the Western Continent, as if they are afraid that someone will forget it.

"But the order Marshal Tiger gave me is to only accept your country's unconditional surrender." Ying An picked up the water cup in front of him, took a sip, and said slowly.

"... General, I cannot accept this at all!" The expression of the dwarf major general representing the Ice Empire was distorted. He felt that the conditions he offered were almost all that a country could offer. But he did not expect that the other party had no intention of keeping their country at all!

"I can give you a phone so that you can contact your Emperor. You can communicate at will during the negotiations... I believe he will make the right choice in the end." Ying An stood up and ended the first contact.

When he reached the door, Ying An stopped and told the guards, "Prepare a radio for them. Also... entertain the three representatives and prepare some food."

Lunch was also eaten in this room. The three dwarves were naturally accompanied not by the busy commander Ying An, but by several staff officers from the army group staff.

Despite the heavy atmosphere, the food was still very rich. The Tang Empire was a country of etiquette, and in this regard, it was still very considerate of the other party's emotions. However, after a good meal, the negotiations were still the same as usual, which was also the tradition of the Tang Empire.

The two sides were in a stalemate for more than 2 hours, and the dwarves finally couldn't stand it anymore, because they had a deadline, and the ceasefire agreement would not work when the deadline came. So they contacted Binghan I through the radio, hoping to get some more bargaining chips.
