Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1746 1747 Negotiation Conditions Full of Sincerity

If they could win, the dwarf negotiators would not sit here so humbly and let the generals of the Tang Army boss them around. What cannot be obtained on the battlefield is destined to be impossible to obtain at the negotiation table. This is the truth and remains unchanged.

"..." After a few seconds of silence, the dwarf representative finally spoke with difficulty and placed the authorization document he carried on the table in humiliation: "This is my authorization document. We request that you, during the negotiation, Suspend the attack on us..."

"Yes." What the dwarves didn't expect was that Ying'an agreed to the request, as if he didn't realize that this was a delaying tactic by the dwarves.

However, Ying'an's words later made the dwarves burst into tears again: "But I can only talk to you for one day. If there is no result within one day, we can only let our cannons continue on the battlefield." Debated."

He did not waste time arguing 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 a variety of new weapons and equipment, including night vision devices sufficient for 20,000 people to launch an attack at night, as well as sufficient weapons and ammunition.

Theoretically, he doesn't actually need any negotiation at all. He only needs today's time, and he is sure to bulldoze Ironforge.

But out of humanitarian considerations, to put it bluntly, it was the assessment of the civil officials on 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, then everything is easy to negotiate. At least the killing can stop and countless soldiers can survive this massacre.

"In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to dedicate Ironforge, retain only the existing territory in the southern region, and become a vassal state of the Tang Empire forever." The dwarf representative, who also knew that there was no way to change anything, bit the bullet and began to speak. Our own terms of surrender.

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

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

 Just listen to the dwarf negotiator continue: "Our Emperor is willing to abdicate, take the emperor of your country as the main one, return to the king, and the Ice Empire will be renamed the Kingdom..."

This is a concession made in name only. Now that we have been humble and small, we can no longer put on an equal face. By surrendering his status and becoming a king, everyone might feel better in terms of face.

Ying'an did not speak, because he knew that the conditions he proposed would be difficult for the other party to accept, so he was very patient and waited patiently for the other party to finish speaking.

 Sure enough, after all the land and status concessions, the actual benefits were finally brought to the table. As expected, it is basically war reparations: "In addition, we are also willing to pay 3 billion gold coins to the Tang Empire, which will be repaid in 50 years... We promise to always open border trade, and the tariff will be decided upon negotiation with your country... ” ˆ ˆ To be frank, the other party was indeed very sincere. He offered a sky-high compensation in one breath. Even a fool could see that this amount of money could not be paid out in a short time. The other party also gave a very feasible operation. The number of years: less than 100 million per year. With the remaining land of the dwarves at this stage, they can probably barely afford the compensation.

In addition, the other party also very creatively offered tariff concessions. It can be seen that it is really preparing to make unilateral peace with the Tang Empire.

This is not a joke, the Binghan Empire is indeed unable to fight anymore. Binghan I knows that every day he persists, the chips in his hand will become smaller, 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 has offered very attractive conditions, such as limiting the number of troops that the Bingbing Kingdom can form, and in terms of diplomacy, the Bingbing Kingdom will firmly maintain consistency with the Tang Empire, etc. .

It can be said that after such a peace treaty is signed, the Ice Kingdom will be nothing more than a large circle of mirage islands that are nominally independent.

 For an emperor, this can definitely be regarded as a kind of humiliation. But Binghan I still pinched 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 really "wanted peace talks," but he still couldn't agree.

 Because now everyone in the Tang Empire has their minds filled with the unfamiliar and novel term "Great Unification." More than a year ago, people did not often talk about this word. Now, this word appears in major newspapers in the Western Continent from time to time, as if they are afraid that someone will forget it.

"However, Marshal Tiger gave me an order to only accept the unconditional surrender of your country." Ying'an picked up the water glass in front of him and said calmly after taking a sip.

"...Your Excellency, 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 what he didn't expect was that the other party had no intention of retaining their country!

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

When he reached the door, Ying'an stopped and ordered the guards: "Prepare a radio station for them. In addition... entertain the three representatives and prepare some food."

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

 Despite the somber atmosphere, the food was plentiful. The Tang Empire, a state of etiquette, still took care of each other's emotions in this regard. However, after having a good meal, the negotiations were still the same as before. This 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 after all, they had a deadline, and the ceasefire agreement would not work when the time came. So they used the radio to contact Binghan I, hoping to get some more chips.
