Miss President wants to talk to you

However, the Red Alliance itself understands that the Norton Federation is currently struggling to survive, and it is simply impossible for it to come up with a huge loan.

So that's how they originally designed it.

They first demanded an exorbitant price, insisting it must be a real loan, and then waited for the federal government to repay the loan on the spot, gradually making concessions.

Finally, they obtained the desired industrial credits.

This is a negotiation technique.

But now, Anton and Nikita have revealed the Red Alliance's bottom line in their negotiations.

What happens after that?

There's absolutely no way to negotiate anymore!

But before they could speak, Eleanor suddenly said:

"Actually, it's not impossible for you to really want this credit."

"only……

"It depends on your sincerity!"

Sincerity?

Anton tentatively asked, "For example?"

"For example, all the overseas orders from the Second Five-Year Plan!"

Chapter 86: Eleanor is a scoundrel

"This is impossible!"

Anton rejected Eleanor's request almost without thinking.

"The committee will never agree to hand over all the overseas orders for the Second Five-Year Plan to one country!"

This is something that is easy to understand.

Once all overseas orders are handed over to a single country, the industrial lifeline of the Red Alliance will essentially be handed over to that country.

The machines, parts, blueprints, and engineers all depend on federal supplies.

The Red Alliance will henceforth be held by the Norton Federation, which will control its very lifeline.

Moreover, the quality of Norton Federation's products is generally mediocre, and its only advantage over the Old World is its lower price.

What if Norton Federal raises prices after the agreement is reached?

You can't trust these guys.

"Mr. Yudintsev, please wait, I haven't finished yet!"

Elinor ignored Anton's protests and continued.

"This is just the first requirement."

"Next is the second one."

"I demand that the Red Alliance open up relief channels and accept federally led agricultural aid programs."

"The federal government plans to donate at least 500,000 tons of food in batches to provide famine relief."

Upon hearing this request, Anton practically jumped up on the spot.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

He argued loudly, "The Alliance has no food shortages, and we don't need any of your aid!"

Good guy!

If the previous industrial proposal still had room for negotiation...

That means agricultural aid is out of the question.

This is tantamount to forcing the Red Alliance to tear open its own wounds and show the world its most vulnerable side.

Furthermore, what exactly is an agricultural aid program?

If Anton remembers correctly, the current situation in the Norton Federation is that agricultural products are in complete surplus, piling up like mountains, but they can't be sold.

Their agriculture minister is now leading a team to destroy tons of agricultural products and slaughter livestock.

The aim was to reduce output, increase agricultural market demand, and alleviate the Great Depression.

As a result, Eleanor, with just a few words, wanted the Red Alliance to become a dumping ground for Norton Federation agricultural products.

And they package themselves like saints.

The Red Alliance should take over these surplus agricultural products, but they should also remember the kindness shown to them by the Norton Federation.

This is simply a dream!

Furthermore, does the aid package need to be federally led?

Are you planning to send people deep into the heart of the Red Alliance to do some shady business?

Anton was beyond furious.

He originally had a pretty good impression of Eleanor.

I found this person to be polite and respectful of their culture and system.

Now their true colors have been revealed; they're nothing but wolves that devour people without spitting out the bones!

Anton wanted nothing more than to slam the door and leave; there was no need to continue the conversation.

however.

Eleanor's expression remained unchanged; instead, he said:

"Look, you're in a hurry again."

"I've already said I haven't finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry to express your opinion?"

besides!?

Anton almost laughed out of anger. "Can't you even be a human being?"

The two points I just raised were already quite excessive.

Don't tell me you have a third point!

Eleanor answered the question quickly.

There is indeed a third point.

"In addition, the Red Alliance will send a high-ranking representative to visit the Federation in person."

"Of course, I understand that your leaders are very busy and do not easily leave the center of power."

"So at least the number two person, the chairman of the executive committee, or the chairman of the people's committee, will come to negotiate."

This

Perhaps because the first two points were so difficult to handle, Anton found the third point more acceptable.

But what if we can accept it?

The Red League would absolutely never agree to the two points Eleanor mentioned earlier.

There's nothing more to discuss.

Anton waited a moment to make sure Eleanor had finished speaking.

He then said, "Mr. Hopkins, I'm sorry to say that we cannot consider these proposals at all. Signing such an agreement would be tantamount to selling out the country."

Anton was mentally prepared.

No matter what leverage Eleanor had over him, he would never agree to it.

It seems that this hopeful contact ultimately ended in failure.

But Eleanor showed a strange expression after hearing these words.

"I didn't ask you to agree now, did I?"

Aren't these two envoys being a bit presumptuous?

Even if they were willing to agree to a negotiation of this level, Eleanor would never accept it.

"I've already said that we should send a high-ranking representative to talk."

Eleanor said, "As for the two of you, just make sure you get my message across."

Anton and Nikita were confused.

Of course they will convey the message; it is their duty.

But what makes Eleanor think that the Supreme Council would accept something that even they find unacceptable?

Eleanor seemed to sense their confusion.

He chuckled and said, "You two don't need to think too much, just convey the message."

"If these negotiations fail, neither of you will bear any responsibility; if they succeed, you will be heroes of history!"

Having said that, Eleanor stood up.

"That's all I wanted to say. I won't disturb your rest any longer."

Eleanor left.

Only Anton and Nikita remained in the room, looking at each other in bewilderment.

They remained silent for a long time before Nikita finally spoke first.

"Yudintsev, what do you think Hopkins really means? Isn't this an exorbitant demand underestimating us?"

After careful consideration, Anton gave a very professional answer.

"I do not know."
