Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 119 asking price
Xihe's words immediately caused a stir in the parliament hall. Members of the various parties who were prepared for the fact that Xijiang would definitely ask for a certain price as compensation were shocked by the high asking price of the other party.
Breaking off the alliance with Maqihan? Although the relationship between the alliance and Maqihan has been somewhat unhappy due to several recent incidents, the mutual assistance and friendship agreement that has been established between the two countries for decades is definitely not caused by these trivial matters. It can be affected. > is the cornerstone of the diplomacy between the two countries and the diplomatic foundation of the Nanyang Alliance. Without the political and military support of Maqi Khan, the Nanyang Alliance Its own security will be seriously threatened, especially the threat from the western Xinjiang. This is a relatively unified view of the alliance, even if it is recognized by the southern coastal states and city-states, not to mention the political and economic relations between the north and the Maqihan. Countries and city-states that have closer ties. On this point, the attitude of the alliance countries and city-states is also clear, that is, they must never agree.
It should be said that Xijiang's request for Sanbao City-State was expected by the Nanyang Alliance. The problem still needs to be resolved through negotiation, such as tariffs/military/member election methods and other factors. It is impossible for Sanbao City-State to truly integrate into the Nanyang Alliance in such a short period of time. Like today’s parliamentary discussion, Sanbao City-State is due to the election of members. The method is not consistent with the formation method of the Nanyang Alliance, so they cannot enter the parliament to speak or observe. The three treasures city-state has always been the heart disease of the western border in the last peninsula war. This is very clear to the members of the Nanyang Alliance. After all, they are just preparing Sacrifice the Three Treasures City-State to quell the turmoil caused by the rash dispatch of troops. After all, the Three Treasures City-State has not yet established a close relationship with the alliance. In preparation for joining hands with the Nanyang Alliance to fight against the invasion of Western Xinjiang, most of the congressmen tend to exchange the sovereignty of the Three Treasures City-State for peace.
However, the demand for the Mawen Islands was completely beyond the expectations of the countries of the Nanyang Alliance. No one thought that the people of Xijiang would actually claim sovereignty over the Mawen Islands as compensation, especially for the coastal countries As far as the city-state is concerned, this is simply blatant extortion, which can be described as shameless.
The Mawen Islands are located in the Southern Ocean and are distributed in a belt shape, ranging from 30 nautical miles to 300 nautical miles from the mainland. They are an archipelago consisting of hundreds of islands of different sizes. The capital of the Principality of Andaco is only 120 nautical miles away. The island of Megeni in the west is only 180 nautical miles away from the Sanbao City-state at the easternmost end of the Peninsula Alliance. Among these hundreds of islands, there are both large and important mainland islands. There are also volcanic islands with fertile soil and well-developed fisheries, as well as beautiful coral reefs. Many islands have not even been developed and are in their natural primitive state. They are also excellent places for the rich in the alliance to vacation and relax.
Most of the races living on the islands of the archipelago are completely different from the mainland residents. They belong to the brown race of the Tu people. The best hunting target in the minds of slave traders, many slave traders colluded with some local officials, allowed the slave boats to secretly capture the indigenous people, and sold them to the north, the hinterland, and even the Midwest. Slave traders and slave ships, but due to the large area of the sea, and the fact that these slave traders have powerful background forces behind them, and they are colluding with local officials, this trend is even intensifying.
Due to its unique geographical location, the Mawen Islands have always been an important fishery production area and tourist attraction for the Alliance. At the same time, the Alliance Navy also has a military port on St. Conis Island, the second largest in area, and is an important base for the Alliance Navy. Now the people of Xijiang open their mouths and ask for the Mawen Islands as compensation. How can this not make the alliance, especially the coastal states and city-states, angry, because these islands belong to the coastal states and city-states respectively.
A single stone caused a thousand waves, and the entire parliament hall was like a boiling pot. Members whispered to each other, discussing whether these harsh conditions put forward by the people of Xijiang were intended to provoke an all-out war, whether it was the northern The countries in China, the city-states in the central region, and the southern coastal regions all responded strongly to the three conditions introduced by Xihe.
The northern countries are most sensitive to breaking the alliance with Maqi Khan. In their view, if the alliance with Maqi Khan is severed, the people of Xijiang can do whatever they want. With the current military strength of the alliance, it is impossible to go alone To fight against the behemoth of Western Xinjiang, there will be no Machi Khans to help, and the alliance will have to wait to die; while the members of the southern coastal countries and city-states strongly protest against the request to cede the Mawen Islands, thinking that this is a pretense of Western Xinjiang. This turmoil is intended to blackmail. The Mawen Islands are related to the lifeline of the alliance's maritime trade and transportation. This is the foundation of the survival of the alliance countries. They would rather go to war than retreat. Only the central cities have a slightly more relaxed attitude, but they all say they can't Accept the banditry of the Xijiang people.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Members of Xihe just conveyed the conditions proposed by the Xijiang side. This is not the final result of the negotiations. Negotiations require a compromise from both parties. , then we can naturally choose a war! So now we can fully express our opinions and talk about our views on the other party's conditions, which ones we can accept, which ones we absolutely cannot accept, and which ones can be settled through negotiation Yes, everyone, please think about it, and finally invite each country and city-state to send a member of parliament to speak. If necessary, we can also invite representatives of Xijiang people to speak at the meeting and explain their views and viewpoints." Coulter lightly Tapped the gong on the desk in front of the speaker, indicating that everyone can discuss and negotiate.
Wang Liao sat quietly in the lounge opposite the Parliament Palace. The members of the Nanyang Alliance were nervously discussing the negotiation plan he proposed to them in the opposite hall. To be honest, Xijiang would like to thank the Nanyang Alliance this time Given this time’s cooperating with the Machi Khan’s troops, if it weren’t for the stupidity and impulsiveness of these guys, how could I have my own trip to Siem Moon this time? How can Xijiang have an excuse to blackmail the other party? He is in a good mood I really like this kind of mission. As a diplomatic envoy, I can stand in front of the other party with a strong attitude, threaten and take the attitude, and take what I want from the other party's arms step by step. This kind of pleasant feeling The feeling is not something ordinary people can appreciate.
The people on the opposite side were probably members of the Sanbao City State Councilors. Wang Liao couldn't express his feeling in Wang Liao's eyes. I don't know if it will make people crazy while the fish and meat are waiting for their fate to decide.
The sovereignty of Sanbao City is the bottom line of the task His Royal Highness Qin Wang gave to himself. He asked himself to make every effort to complete this task. Ceding the Mawen Islands is just wishful thinking and request of the navy. As for asking the Nanyang Alliance to sever the Machihans The covenant is purely a strategic means for him to ask for a price. Wang Liao believes that after his own efforts and the careful consideration of these congressmen of the Nanyang Alliance, there should be no obstacle to the return of the Three Treasures City-State, but the Mawen Islands But it is unrealistic. After all, the geographical location there is too important, and it is related to the economic and trade lifeline of the entire Nanyang Alliance. However, Wang Liao is still going to make an effort with his own skills and eloquence. Even if it is unsuccessful, he will let the Nanyang Alliance Realize that rash decisions come with a price.
"Master Wang~IndoMTL.com~Chairman Coulter, please go in." The soft voice of the beautiful female secretary of the Nanyang Alliance Parliament interrupted Wang Liao's contemplation. It seems that it is time to perform by himself, Wang Liao Standing up and tidying up his clothes, he adjusted his emotions and stepped briskly into the majestic parliament hall.
"Everyone, although I like the customs of the Nanyang Alliance very much, I have to come to the Nanyang Alliance and the Kingdom of Siam Kong with a feeling of regret. The relationship between the Nanyang Alliance and our Tanghe Empire has always been good , the political and economic relations between the two sides developed smoothly. Although we had some misunderstandings due to different political opinions in the early peninsula war, we all saw that we resolved the differences between the two sides through peaceful negotiations, and the matter was handled reasonably and fairly. The two sides also signed A peace agreement was signed. It stands to reason that this matter has been satisfactorily resolved, and the two sides should focus on developing bilateral relations, promoting friendly exchanges between the two sides and closer economic and trade relations, but what is puzzling and angry is that the alliance actually At a critical time when we were in a state of war with the Kamans in the north, the Nanyang Alliance and the Machi Khans suddenly sent troops to the territory of our Western Xinjiang Dadu Protectorate, and tore up the original agreement we had signed, and proposed a series of unreasonable Request. It is not impossible for the alliance to propose renegotiation in normal times, but this is precisely at the critical time of our decisive battle with the Kamans, and we still colluded with the Machihans and threatened them with force. , which is incredible and incomprehensible!"
Wang Liao opened the prelude to the speech with some cadenced words. Although the Nanyang Alliance has complex races and many countries, Tang is the common language, so there is no obstacle in communication.
Bring the recommendation ticket, I strongly demand the ticket!
