Miss President wants to talk to you

Isn't that just asking to get shot?!

Chapter 85: That depends on your sincerity.

Anton is now in a dilemma.

He could neither admit nor deny what he might have said last night.

The Red Alliance doesn't have any traditions like not taking what people say after drinking seriously.

They believe that people speak the truth when they are drunk.

"What you think when you're sober, you say when you're drunk," is a well-known proverb in Rossiya.

The psychological pressure on Anton and Nikita has reached near-infinite levels.

Although they had all undergone special training to ensure that they would immediately fall asleep on the table after getting drunk.

But what if?

Even if the probability is extremely small, if it happens, it will be a catastrophic disaster.

They didn't know what Eleanor had heard, or whether any evidence had been left behind.

This kind of thing cannot be disproven.

It can only exist as a mystery forever.

Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Eleanor decided to take the first step.

"It seems you two have forgotten something."

He said, "I remember the two of them clearly telling me that they came here this time to test the federal government's attitude and sincerity."

"I want to see if a long-lasting and stable friendship can be formed between our two countries."

"If possible, it would be best if the Federation made the first invitation."

"Don't you really remember these words?"

Buhou!

Anton and Nikita exchanged glances. Eleanor was absolutely right!

This was precisely the real purpose of their visit.

Could it be... that they really told everyone?!

Anton thought to himself, "It must have been Nikita who said it! Sukabri!"

Nikita thought to himself, "It must have been Anton who said it! Sukabrück!"

At this moment, besides blaming their colleagues in their hearts, the two of them were more worried about how to handle this mission.

If you speak carelessly after drinking and reveal your true feelings, you will completely lose the initiative.

The two even imagined the following conversation:

Hong Luo: "How about we establish diplomatic relations?"

Federal government: "No."

Hongluo: "Okay... Actually, I didn't really want to establish diplomatic relations with you. It's really, really funny, your country..."

Hong Luo: "Actually, I have many diplomatic allies, and I think you're just so-so."

Hongluo: "And you're really putting on an act."

Hongluo: "..."

Hong Luo: "So, you really won't establish diplomatic relations?"

The thought of this scene sent chills down Anton and Nikita's spines!

"Mr. Hopkins!"

Anton and Nikita quickly tried to explain, both wanting to salvage the situation.

“You might have misunderstood! What Nikita/Anton meant last night was…”

Eleanor reached out and stopped the two from talking.

"Let me finish speaking first."

The two immediately shut up.

The situation is now completely under Eleanor's control, and they are now in a completely passive position.

"Actually, before you brought this up, the Federation had never thought of establishing diplomatic relations with the Red Alliance."

Eleanor said, "But your words did remind me."

Is there any possibility of long-term cooperation between the two countries, the Federation and the Union?

"We definitely have one!"

Oh?

Anton and Nikita's eyes lit up immediately.

They had all fallen into despair, believing they had completely botched the mission.

Unexpectedly, Eleanor loosened her grip and stopped keeping them hanging.

If we can talk, things will be much easier!

Anton quickly asked, "So what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, if everyone focuses on one thing and moves towards their own path of prosperity, we will definitely be able to achieve common development."

After Eleanor finished speaking, she asked in return, "What do you think?"

This

Anton and Nikita had the same idea at the same time.

Your words are truly insightful; Eleanor spoke so much, yet revealed no key point.

They only talked about common development, but didn't explain how to do it.

really

Should I speak first?

Anton and Nikita were not negotiators, nor did they have diplomatic decision-making power.

But that doesn’t mean they can’t test the waters with the Federation beforehand.

If they want to establish diplomatic relations, what conditions would they want the Red Alliance to offer? And what concessions would the Federation be willing to make?

Anton and his companion would not forget that there were a whole host of issues between the Federation and the Alliance, including debt and faith!

"Mr. Hopkins, I think you should stop keeping me in suspense."

Anton said, "Don't you already know very well? The Red Alliance's biggest demand is that the Federation extend an invitation first..."

Upon hearing this, Eleanor simply shook her head.

"Still not behaving yourself!"

He said, "That's not what you said last night!"

what? !

The people of Andong were completely baffled. What on earth had they said last night?!

Why does it seem like we've revealed all the secrets of the Red Alliance?

Admittedly, the Red Alliance's desire to establish diplomatic relations with the Federation goes beyond simply having the Federation extend an invitation first.

Ultimately, it all comes down to saving face.

What can truly bring the two countries together is whether they can achieve deeper cooperation and get what they need – that is, the substance.

Did I blurt out these things while bragging when I was drunk?!

That's it, we're doomed.

In negotiations between two countries, the worst thing to do is to expose one's true needs and actual bottom line.

Otherwise, we will find ourselves in an extremely passive position.

However, Anton felt that something was not quite right.

Would I really say these things?

These details are things that only those at the highest levels can grasp.

At most, these executors received only a hint or a rumor.

Was Eleanor bluffing them?

The thought had barely formed in his mind when Eleanor suddenly said:

"Don't you want the Federation to establish a national export bank to provide the Red Alliance with a long-term industrial credit?"

boom!

These words struck like a thunderbolt.

Anton and Nikita were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

No, that's right...

To be fair, the Red Alliance wants a lot from the Federation.

For example, security agreements in the Far East, public recognition of great power status, advanced industrial technology, etc.

But if I had to say what I want most, it would definitely be a long-term industrial credit line!

Industrial credit can be understood as a loan amount specifically designated for a particular purpose.

The Red Alliance doesn't receive real money, but it can use this quota to purchase various industrial machinery and equipment from the Federation, and then repay the debt later.

Of course, it would be best if you could get a real loan instead of credit.
