Chapter 920 White Bear Tribe: What goes around comes around
He was prepared, knowing it wouldn't go smoothly.

However, General Kurila never expected to be so frustrated. He was completely dominated by the Longxia tribe's negotiators and they had no way to resist!
He hadn't planned to come, and had even already chosen his own people to participate in the negotiations, but he never expected that the chieftain would specifically ask him to attend in person.

Just as he had predicted, the negotiations went very passively, with the other side dominating the entire process. He felt incredibly frustrated!

He was the commander of the Pacific Naval Command, a four-star general, how could he have ever suffered such humiliation? It almost made him furious!
Actually, it wasn't just him. Carterwell, the head of the Eagle Tribe's foreign affairs department, had participated in countless international conferences, big and small. He was always in a superior position, giving orders. He was never treated like a grandson by the Dragon Xia people like this.

He was truly helpless and extremely embarrassed, wanting to explode but restrained by reason! Because he knew very well what the consequences of exploding would mean, and given the current situation, he had no choice but to endure!

Looking back at the negotiation process, he was shocked to find that the pace of the negotiations in the first half was completely controlled by the Longxia people, and they were just struggling to cope.

At that moment, Carterwell, seething with anger, slammed his clenched fist hard on the desk.

Bang!
The table bounced violently after being hit, and the cups on it all fell over.

"Damn bastard, you're making me so angry."

Curryra, extremely annoyed, cursed, "Whoever wants to play in the second half can play, I'm not participating. It's utterly shameful."

"Fuck, when have we ever been treated like this?"

Despite the burning anger within him, Carterwell didn't utter a single word, simply keeping his head down and busy with his work.

The people from the administrative departments didn't say anything, and it's unclear what they were thinking.

Seeing that no one spoke, Kurila continued to speak to herself: "Damn Dragon Xia Navy, once I recover, I'll teach you a lesson you bastards to a pulp."

"Damn it, don't let me get this chance!"

Of course, what I said before about not participating in the second half was just an angry outburst, a way to vent my frustration.

"This time, I'll let it slide and won't stoop to your level."

These words were practically squeezed out from between General Kurila's teeth, which shows just how much hatred he harbored.

There was no other way; he was well aware that the current situation was beyond his control. The situation was too complicated, so the Eagle Tribe had to end the conflict in the Eastern Seas as soon as possible to free up their energy to deal with the crisis in Europe.

Moreover, the current situation within the Eastern Continent sea area is completely under the control of the Longxia tribe, and they have no choice but to make concessions!
After a moment, Carterwell summarized the meeting minutes and said, "I have already reported the contents of the meeting to the Chief."

"Next, we need to discuss countermeasures carefully to prepare for the second half of the negotiations."

"The chieftain just specifically instructed that a result must be reached in the second half of the negotiations no matter what."

General Kurila waved his hand impatiently and said, "Fine, I understand."

He was suppressing his anger when he said these words. Even after so much time had passed, he was still unhappy but had nowhere to vent, which only made him angrier.

Meanwhile, in the Black Palace of the Eagle Tribe, in the office of the Great Chief.

The message Carterwell reported had been recorded by the High Chief, and his staff had arrived and were sitting in chairs.

"The results of the first half of the negotiations between the two sides are in; take a look."

The High Chief handed the meeting minutes to his staff. "What do you think will happen in the second half? Can we make any predictions?"

His meaning was clear: he hoped to control the pace of the negotiations in the second half and avoid being put on the defensive.

Judging from the minutes of the first half of the meeting, the negotiations with the Longxia tribe were very difficult, with the negotiators holding almost no advantage and even being pressured.

Although he was very unhappy and felt that the dignity of the mighty Eagle Tribe had been offended, he was powerless to change the current situation.

After reviewing the meeting minutes, the aide fell into deep thought, and after a moment said seriously, "Great Chief, it should still be under our control. The current peace talks are proceeding in accordance with the tone set by you and the senior leadership of Longxia."

"The general direction will not change. The only trouble is that the Longxia people are too cunning and very difficult to deal with."

The chieftain nodded thoughtfully, then said, "It doesn't matter that the Longxia people are a bit troublesome. What I'm most worried about now is that the Longxia people and the White Bear people have secretly joined forces to deliberately delay the negotiations."

"If we can't extricate ourselves in time, then we won't be able to take care of the interests in Europe, and that's the most fatal thing for us."

Upon hearing this, the advisor frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "This is indeed a problem, and we must be prepared."

"Great Chieftain, how about this..."

The advisor then lowered his voice and whispered in the chief's ear what he was about to say.

The chieftain's eyes widened as he listened, a delighted smile curving his lips: "Your suggestion is excellent. Arrange it immediately."

"Yes, Great Chief!"

The aide, having received the order, rose and hurriedly left the office.

Meanwhile, almost every country on Earth was watching the peace talks between the Dragonxia Tribe and the Eagle Tribe closely, eagerly awaiting the final outcome.

Even though the White Bear tribe suddenly launched a military operation in northern Europe, causing quite a stir, it still paled in comparison to this and didn't garner as much attention.

The reason it hasn't garnered much attention is mainly because the high-ranking officials of various countries believe that the White Bear Tribe's military action is at most a sneaky stunt, and they won't actually wage a full-scale war against the European countries.

As for the war that broke out in the waters off Dongzhou, the situation is completely different. If peace talks fail, the fighting will continue, and if it resumes, the conflict will be absolutely terrifying. Both sides' foreign ministries have made using nuclear weapons to attack each other's homelands commonplace. Although they haven't actually launched an attack, it has terrified their national leaders to the point of near collapse!

It can be said that as long as the negotiations between the Longxia Tribe and the Eagle Tribe fail to reach a conclusion, they will be on tenterhooks for even a minute.

Besides this, there is another very important reason why they are so focused on peace talks.

The final outcome of the battle in the Eastern Continent Sea is still unknown to everyone except the Dragon Summer Tribe and the Eagle Tribe. Moreover, there is simply too much related information, making it difficult for them to distinguish between truth and falsehood!
Actually, it was all because the head of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe's cabinet suddenly jumped out and said those words, which made them doubt the contents of the announcements issued by the foreign ministries of the two countries.

If what the cabinet leader said is true, then the Eagle Tribe will still firmly control the situation in the Eastern Sea, and the Dragon Summer Tribe's challenge will be declared a failure!
If one chooses to believe the announcements issued by the foreign ministries of both countries, the impact will be enormous, even to an unimaginable and terrifying degree.

This signifies the rise of the Dragonxia tribe as a new power, successfully challenging the established forces represented by the Eagle tribe. Even though this conflict occurred within the First Island Chain, its impact was far-reaching.

Putting everything else aside, the international standing of the Longxia tribe on Earth has undoubtedly been elevated once again, which will greatly contribute to the economic development of the Longxia tribe.

"Sigh, there's still no news coming out, and we don't know how the peace talks are going?"

"I think that as long as both sides choose to exercise restraint, there shouldn't be any problem in reaching a conclusion. The real fear is that both sides will be at loggerheads and neither will be willing to back down. Otherwise, it might end up like the first round of negotiations, where both sides parted on bad terms."

"Please don't let that happen. If the peace talks fail, I think the two sides will definitely fight each other, and maybe even use nuclear weapons."

"I tend to agree with this view. They had been suppressing it all along, but once they could no longer suppress it, it completely exploded. I really hope that the negotiations between the two sides go smoothly, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

"I just hope that both sides can be rational, restrain themselves, and seriously consider the situation of small countries like ours. But according to the words of the Eastern Wilderness Cabinet leader, there was an exchange of interests with the Eagle Tribe. Is it possible that they can't come to the negotiating table because they don't have nuclear weapons?"

"That makes some sense. However, this adds more variables to the peace talks, and the Longxia tribe has a very fiery temper these days, daring to confront the Eagle tribe head-on."

While the leaders of various countries were speculating and worrying, the Foreign Affairs Department of the Eagle Tribe suddenly released an announcement.

"Based on the principles of maintaining peace on Earth and upholding human progress, despite numerous differences between us and the Longxia tribe, we have engaged in frank and friendly negotiations, which have proceeded very smoothly!"

"Working together towards peace is a goal and a consensus that both sides are striving for! Both sides are working towards maintaining stability in the waters around Dongzhou!"

"Furthermore, we will resolutely crack down on any forces that undermine regional peace and stability without any leniency!"

This announcement was like a reassurance to the top leaders of various countries, immediately easing their anxieties.

"See? The Eagle Tribe has already expressed its stance. The peace talks between the two sides are progressing smoothly, which puts my mind at ease."

"As long as the negotiations between the two sides go smoothly, there will be no surprises, and I can finally relax."

"But did you see that last sentence in the Eagle Tribe's announcement? Doesn't it sound like a corrupt official setting fire to a house?"

"You're the only one who saw it? Aren't you afraid that one day the Eagle Tribe's navy will come straight to your doorstep and demand compensation? Didn't you see? This is the Eagle Tribe's serious warning to the White Bear Tribe."

"I'm really looking forward to the announcement from the Longxia tribe. It'll be quite interesting. Anyway, I'm relaxed now and just waiting to see what happens."

The announcement from the Longxia Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department didn't keep the leaders of the various countries waiting for long; it was as if the two sides had already agreed on it.

The latest announcement from the Foreign Affairs Department of Longxia is as follows.

"As you can see, both sides have had frank exchanges and communication, and we have given the Eagle Tribe’s sincerity and attitude the utmost respect!"

"On some key issues, both sides are looking for common ground and reaching consensus. The first half of the negotiations has been basically completed."

"Both sides agreed to hold the second half of the talks with the Longxia tribe at 4:45. We are full of expectations and confidence that the talks will be fruitful, and both sides will work together!"

"Furthermore, we would like to clarify something here. Given the various rumors circulating that our navy has suffered heavy losses, this is pure nonsense. To those who spread these rumors, we would only say that they will end up shooting themselves in the foot."

"Our navy has made it clear that the truth will be released after the peace talks."

"We also need to release some evidence: as shown in the picture!"

This is a photo taken from a helicopter, showing five replenishment ships flying the Longxia flag sailing at high speed at sea.

Among these five replenishment ships, there is a warship that is blurred out, as if it were being escorted.

Even though the specific design of the warship is not clear, the Eastern Wilderness flag flying on it is very obvious, as if it was deliberately left unblurred.

The announcement immediately swept across the entire planet, drawing in high-ranking officials from various countries as well as intelligence personnel, all eager to see what was going on.

After quickly glancing at the relevant information, they found that the negotiations were going very smoothly, and both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

They all knew very well that the Longxia Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department always kept its word count and its matters serious! This time, the content was extensive and the number of words was high, further demonstrating that both sides were satisfied with the peace talks and that they were progressing smoothly.

"It must be said that the Longxia Tribe's Foreign Affairs Department is always meticulous and uses very precise language. Although the peace talks between the two sides are not as optimistic as the Eagle Tribe has said, and everything is progressing smoothly, it is clear that the peace talks are steadily moving forward. This is good news; the danger of nuclear war has decreased considerably."

"As everyone has seen, this time, the peace talks were once again announced by the Longxia Tribe. Considering the previous one, I believe that what the leader of the Eastern Wilderness Cabinet said contradicts it."

"If there are discrepancies, the final answer will only be revealed after the peace talks conclude. I think everyone should be patient and wait. We've waited for so long already, what's a little more time to wait?"

"If you want to know the outcome of the war, you don't need to wait at all, okay? Look at the last sentence and that picture."

With the help of sharp-eyed high-ranking officials from various countries, many of them focused their attention on the last sentence and the picture.
