Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1874 1875 I Don't Care

"To be honest." Foreign Minister Dorne sighed and rubbed his temples tiredly. Facing the diplomats of the Tang Empire, he really felt that he was old and no longer had the energy to deal with these fanatical Tang people.

"We have already surrendered unconditionally..." He paused, as if choosing his words: "We know that we are doomed to fail, but we just hope to maintain a little dignity and accept the defeat gracefully."

The Tang diplomat nodded slightly and said calmly: "It can be seen that your country is indeed sincere. At least at the negotiation table, your attitude is worthy of recognition."

Foreign Minister Dorne forced a smile and said, "We only ask for the personal safety of the royal family, including their families and servants. At the same time, we also hope to guarantee the safety and property of the ministers and those law-abiding nobles..."

His voice lowered, with a hint of pleading. This was the most concerning issue for the Dorne high-ranking officials, and it was also the issue he had to resolve. If he would go bankrupt and lose his life after surrendering, it would be better to resist to the end, right? So everyone's basic bottom line was actually very simple: give us a way out.

"Regarding this point..." The Tang diplomat's tone remained calm: "I have also said that we can meet your demands. We are not interested in the life of King Dorne I. What we pursue is peace and stability, not killing and plundering."

He paused and added, "As for the safety of the royal family and ministers, we will also do our best to ensure it."

In fact, he could only guarantee these, because the Tang Empire would inevitably settle accounts with some of the sinners whose reputations were not so good and whose hands were stained with the blood of the people. This was the national policy of the Tang Empire, and it was also a part that could not be compromised.

Tang Mo always believed that if the Tang Empire compromised with the old guard of the old world, then his Tang Empire would definitely go back to its old ways in the future, and eventually become corrupt and decadent like other perished empires, and eventually be destroyed by others.

As a monarch, what he wants is an eternal dynasty and long-term rule...not to compromise with fools who stand against the people in pursuit of speed in unification.

"Regarding property..." The Tang diplomat's tone became serious: "As for protecting your private property, we can only protect legal property after screening. Any property obtained through illegal means will be confiscated according to law. This rule applies to everyone, including you."

"I understand." Foreign Minister Dorne nodded, took out a handkerchief and began to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "We will fully cooperate with your investigation."

He had tried his best to save most people's lives and the few gold coins in his pocket... There was no other way. Now the blade of the Tang Empire was on his neck, and he could not care about the lives of those scumbags who were not so human in normal times.

"All Dornish troops must lay down their weapons and surrender immediately." Another Tang diplomat emphasized, standing aside and reminding: "You are wasting time and delaying the negotiation process. This is extremely irresponsible to Dornish soldiers and civilians. Every second you delay, thousands of Dornish people will be displaced and die in the wilderness. I hope you can recognize the situation and make the right choice as soon as possible."

Foreign Minister Dorn continued to wipe the sweat from his forehead with the white handkerchief in his hand: "We have issued an order to stop resistance, and all troops have received the ceasefire order. However, it takes time for our orders to be transmitted, and the situations of each unit are different. Some troops in remote areas may need some time to receive the order."

At this moment, the assistant of the Tang diplomat walked up to him, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear. After hearing this, the Tang diplomat's face changed slightly.

"Excuse me, please wait a moment. There is an emergency that I need to deal with." He said to Dorne's Foreign Minister, then looked at his assistant: "What is it?"

Foreign Minister Dorne looked at him in confusion, as if he wanted to find out what had happened. Unfortunately... no one here would answer his question, because no one took him seriously.

"Report, we just received an urgent communication from the front line, a message from the Air Force." The assistant leaned close to the Tang diplomat and said in a low voice, "A fighter jet from Dorne tried to attack our plane. The Air Force believes that this incident may be helpful to our subsequent negotiations."

The relaxed expression of the Tang diplomat froze instantly. He turned to look at Dorne's Foreign Minister, who had a bewildered look on his face, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Didn't you say that the resistance has stopped?" He asked with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Are you sure that all resistance has stopped?"

Foreign Minister Dorne rubbed his eyes, his eyes confused. "Yes, we have issued a ceasefire order..."

"The news is absolutely true." The assistant interrupted again: "This Dorn fighter did launch two air-to-air missiles at our aircraft."

"Missiles?" The Tang diplomat raised his voice and asked in disbelief.

"Dorn's fighter jets? Fire missiles at us?" His tone was full of shock and confusion.

He was familiar with every word in this sentence, but when they were put together, he was a little confused. Where did Dorne's air force get the missiles? What was going on?

"Yes, two air-to-air combat missiles launched at close range." The assistant answered affirmatively: "Fortunately, no damage was caused to our aircraft. The incident occurred in the airspace near the capital of Dorne."

The Tang diplomat frowned, tapping his fingers on the table, lost in thought. Soon, he looked up at the Dorne Foreign Minister, who had turned pale with fear at the news, and asked, "So, your ceasefire order was not fully implemented?"

The assistant added: "Our pilots subsequently shot down the Dorn plane. The model has been confirmed to be a modified Sabre jet fighter."

The Tang diplomat's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He turned to Foreign Minister Dorne and said in a cold tone: "This is the news that has just been confirmed. Less than an hour ago, a Dorne fighter jet tried to attack our aircraft near your capital. Mr. Foreign Minister, what is your explanation for this?"

"What?" Foreign Minister Dorne stood up suddenly, his face full of shock. "This is impossible! Plane? When did we take off the plane? All our planes should be parked on the ground!"

The Tang diplomat said in a cold tone: "Do you think I'm kidding you?"

"No! Of course not!" Dorne's Foreign Minister waved his hands quickly, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He hurriedly took out the damp handkerchief again and kept wiping his forehead.

"Please wait a moment, I need to verify this situation." He turned to the assistant behind him and said sternly: "Investigate immediately! Right now!" "Yes!" the assistant responded immediately.

Foreign Minister Dorne added anxiously, "Call the Air Force Admiral! Ask him if he is crazy! Why did he approve the plane to take off at this time! Also, call all the airports around the Imperial Capital! Ask them if they have any planes taking off! Immediately! Right now! Go now!"

"Yes! I'll do it right away!" The assistant turned around and left quickly.

Foreign Minister Dorne paced back and forth in the room anxiously, muttering to himself: "How is this possible? How is this possible..."

He looked up at the Tang diplomat from time to time, his eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness. The Tang diplomat sat steadily in his chair with a calm expression, as if everything was under his control.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense. Finally, Foreign Minister Dorne's assistant ran back, panting.

"Report!..." the assistant said breathlessly.

"How is it? Have you found out?" Foreign Minister Dorne asked anxiously.

"I contacted the Air Force General... He said..." The assistant hesitated.

"what did he say?"

"He said... he doesn't know anything..." The assistant was somewhat embarrassed when answering this question.

"He knows nothing?" Foreign Minister Dorne's voice rose eight degrees. "How is this possible? A fighter jet took off, and he said he knew nothing?"

"Yes..." The assistant lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the Foreign Minister's angry eyes.

Foreign Minister Dorne slumped in his chair, covering his face with his hands, muttering to himself: "It's over... Everything is over..."

The next second, he suddenly stood up again, grabbed his assistant by the collar, and asked sternly: "What about the airport? What did they say? Go and ask! Go!"

In fact, he was not as completely flustered as he appeared to be, but he was pretending to be so for the Tang Empire diplomat sitting next to him. There was no other way, if he didn't improvise, the other party would definitely not let go of such an opportunity to ask for an exorbitant price.

And he was indeed very dissatisfied with those idiots in the military. They suffered a huge defeat on the front battlefield and lost millions of troops...but in the end they even developed some secret weapons. Isn't this crazy?

Don't they have enough secret weapons in Dorne? There's a suicide submarine driven by two people...but the navy of the Tang Empire is so erratic that those shabby submarines can't even find their shadow.

They attacked dozens of times, but apart from losing dozens of crazy sailors who were not afraid of death, and dozens of suicide submarines that were as big as broken refrigerators, there was not a single useless record!
They secretly developed a large-scale missile called Shenguang, which wasted countless materials and employed countless skilled workers. In the end, most of the missiles that were said to be able to change the situation of the war became the spoils of the Tang army.

The ground-launched model takes too long to prepare, and the air-launched model has the same accuracy as a fucking rocket... This kind of thing shouldn't even exist!

Now, he didn't even know that the Air Force had developed a secret weapon... I just heard from the Tang diplomat, what is this thing called? What is it called an air-to-air combat missile?
Dorne's Foreign Minister had no idea what the junk was! He only knew that it didn't shoot down the Tang army's plane, but it almost ruined his work as Foreign Minister for several days!
When he gets back... When he gets back, he and King Dorne I will definitely teach these idiots a lesson! What kind of secret weapon do these idiots have? Why don't they just die?

"I understand, I understand... You can tell those idiots to wait!" After hanging up the phone, Foreign Minister Dorne's assistant snorted angrily and hurried back to the negotiation room with the information he had obtained.

He leaned close to the Foreign Minister's ear, but the latter dodged impatiently and scolded him dissatisfiedly: "Just say it! Don't you think I'm embarrassing enough?"

The assistant nodded and bowed quickly: "Yes, sir. A plane did take off from the airport in the imperial capital... A pilot named Gamans ignored others' obstruction and flew the plane away without a trace..."

"He took off by himself? He loaded the plane with two missiles? He even filled the plane with fuel?" The diplomat of the Tang Empire at the side was not an air force professional, but he had some knowledge. He sneered and exposed the other party's lies: "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Seeing that his efforts to pass the blame had failed, the assistant became even more embarrassed. He looked at his superior, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Dorne's foreign minister was so angry at his own stupid subordinates that he felt that they had been with him for so many years but had learned nothing at all.

Is this the time to think about the problem from the perspective of the Dorne Empire? The most important thing at this moment is to clear yourself of the responsibility! Others... I don't care about them?
If this person was not related to him, had not come through the back door, and had no problem with his loyalty, he would have replaced this assistant long ago. After secretly cursing the relative who recommended this idiot, Dorne's foreign minister immediately scolded him: "Idiot! Get out of the way! Useless thing."

After scolding, he immediately smiled and shirked all responsibility: "Sir, you can see that this kind of personal behavior is really beyond the control of our diplomatic department. We will order the Air Force to give your country an explanation when we go back... All the people involved will be handed over to your country for punishment! Please rest assured! We will never tolerate it! We will never let off a criminal who disrupts the peace talks!"

He thought very clearly that things had come to this point. Even if those abominable ground crew, the airport commander, the dispatcher... were all fired, it would have nothing to do with him as the Foreign Minister.

At worst... at worst, if the Tang Empire still doesn't want to get rid of its hatred, it will also hang Dorne's air force commander! Anyway, it's not him who will die, so it doesn't matter...
