Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 41 Partition (2)

In terms of the attitude towards the three northeastern provinces, Mower III, like Sharma, felt very contradictory. They wanted to directly propose to the Tanghe people that the three northeastern provinces should be declared as the governor of the western border of the Tanghe Empire. It is illegal to protect the protected area of ​​the government, and it is also illegal for the Xijiang Protectorate to accept requests from the three northeastern provinces, but it is also worried that it will anger the people of Tanghe. The three provinces, I am afraid that the entire thirteen provinces will become the territory of the Tik and Yakuan; but if the three northeastern provinces are allowed to act recklessly, not only will the three northeastern provinces become vassals of the Tanghe people, I am afraid The five provinces that still need to rely on the Tanghe people and the two western provinces that still need to be recovered by the Tanghe people will gradually follow suit. In this way, what authority does the central government of the kingdom have?

On this issue, Sharma and Mower III had discussed and discussed for a long time, but there was still no satisfactory solution. In the end, the bottom line given to Sharma by Moir III was to ensure the sovereignty of the Central Five Elements Province, but The premise is that Tanghe people still need to temporarily garrison troops in several provinces to maintain stability and security, and the three northeastern provinces must be under the unified leadership of the kingdom in name, but appropriate concessions can be made in terms of administrative power and garrison power. The first step, Mower III gave Sharma this is a difficult problem that will test the art of negotiation, and Sharma doesn't have much confidence in his heart. He would rather suffer more economic losses than deal with these matters involving territorial sovereignty. Concession on the issue, but the question is what are the people in Tanghe thinking?

After giving Orlando a wink, Sharma continued with a smile: "Lord Cui, Lord Huyan, we Indians are not thankful people, and we are also very willing to compensate for the losses of your army and give The appropriate rewards for the soldiers will be implemented immediately, but we want to know how much the two adults think is more appropriate?"

Originally, Sharma wanted to discuss this issue on a more formal occasion, but he was worried that too much entanglement on this issue would affect the discussion of more important issues later, so he simply raised this issue directly, which seems to be unreasonable. Such a nice name, whether it is compensation or remuneration, in a word, use money to solve this problem.

"Master Sharma, Master Cui and I have conducted a special verification on this issue. Although we have used a large number of troops in this military operation to help you, as allies, we should not propose any rewards, so We only give certain rewards to individual soldiers to motivate them to go to battle to kill the enemy. In addition, our soldiers and horses have a lot of material loss. We only hope to replenish the original level before sending troops. The most important one is the pension for dead and disabled soldiers , due to the large quantity of this item, according to our army’s compensation standard, each soldier killed in battle needs to be compensated with 400 imperial gold coins, which is 40 ounces of gold, and disabled soldiers need to be subsidized with 200 to 350 imperial gold coins. More than 12,000 people were killed and nearly 30,000 soldiers were disabled, so a total of 12 million imperial gold coins are needed, plus rewards for soldiers and supplements for our army’s material consumption, the total is more than 15 million imperial gold coins, converted into gold That's 1.5 million ounces."

According to the agreement between the two, Hu Yanqiu raised the asking price on behalf of Cui Wenxiu. This is a well-planned compensation plan. The number of dead soldiers has been increased by 30%, and the number of less than 9,000 people has been raised to 12,000. Treatment and appropriate subsidies are enough. Only the disabled are compensated according to the disability registration. Cui Wenxiu and Hu Yanqiu classified all the injured as disabled, which doubled the amount of extortion.

Sharma's face changed slightly. Although the price was a bit astonishingly high, it was still within the acceptable range. The Indian Kingdom is not short of gold. Perhaps the other party also thought of this, so they took such a big bite. But thinking that the other party has traveled thousands of miles to help, if even this requirement cannot be met, then there will be more complicated and difficult problems in the future, and now I can't afford to delay. The two provinces in the west are related to the west of the kingdom The exit channel is also the foundation of the Mish people. If the control of the two provinces cannot be regained, the people of Hyderabad will not be able to get the support of the Mish people. And the close alliance formed by Hyderabad, Solian, and Mish may also disintegrate, so Sharma does not want to entangle in these details.

Waved her hand to signal all the maids and dancers to leave, and there were only six people left in the reception hall. It was not until all the women disappeared in the back hall that Sharma resolutely said: "Okay, one and a half million ounces of gold , Master Orlando will deliver it to the person in charge of logistics in your army tomorrow. Please ask Master Huyan to arrange the vehicle to receive it. I don’t think this problem is a problem, but the situation in the entire Indian Kingdom has not yet fully stabilized. Originally We intend to ask you two to rest for a while and come back to discuss some specific matters, but some matters can no longer be delayed, so today is also a good opportunity. His Majesty also entrusted the four of us to discuss this with you. How about it?"

Cui Wenxiu and Hu Yanqiu exchanged glances, and their faces became more serious. Cui Wenxiu no longer pretended to be drunk, but sat up straight and nodded happily: "Lord Sharma is really quick to talk, Although you and I are our own masters, Cui appreciates your straightforwardness. Lord Sharma might as well open up the issue and say that since His Majesty the King has authorized you all, and Lord Li has also handed over the affairs here. Mrs. Cui and Hu Yan, we can openly and honestly talk about one by one, I believe we can find a solution that we can all solve."

"Very good." Sharma breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the other party's determined expression, he was secretly worried about the status of the three northeastern provinces, but now he has nothing to offer. Bargaining weight, in the face of the Yakuans and Tik people who are eyeing, everything the kingdom now has needs to rely on the other side's powerful army for protection. This kind of negotiation is undoubtedly putting one's side on the chopping board and letting the other side slaughter.

"Hehe, then it looks like we can start now. I think we should bring forward the problems we each need to solve, so that everyone can discuss on a relatively equal basis." Cui Wenxiu nodded with a smile, The other party is a sensible person, and probably guessed his own basic thoughts. Although it seems a bit despicable, there is no justice or axiom between countries, and the exchange of sufficient interests can become an eternal and lasting driving force.

Nodding with a wry smile, Sharma turned sideways, and the chief elder of the Mish Department, Comorley, the Minister of Commerce of the Kingdom, as well as Clever and Orlando muttered a few words in a low voice before solemnly saying: "Lord Cui , our request is very simple, first, please help us regain the sovereignty of the two provinces of Milo and Pame, and expel the Yakuans; The necessary troops are stationed in the provinces to ensure the safety of the kingdom, and they will not withdraw until the kingdom's army has been reorganized and has enough guards; third, please help the kingdom to reorganize and train the army, and provide sufficient supplies for our army The equipment, war horses, and weapons of the kingdom, so that the combat effectiveness of the kingdom's army can reach the necessary level; fourth, please represent us to make the necessary compensation to the Tik and Yakuan people, and make an apology, so that they can compensate for the two armies' invasion of our country. The loss caused by our country.”

After listening to the other party's request, both Cui Wenxiu and Hu Yanqiu couldn't help but gasped. The first two items were within their expectations, but the last two days were a bit harsh, especially the fourth item. Under the current circumstances, it seems that it is not an easy task to make the Tik and Yakuans submit, especially since Mr. Li has strictly ordered his side not to delay the handling of the aftermath of the Indian civil war for too long. So as not to affect the Eastern Civil War.

"Lord Sharma, do you expect too much from us?" Hu Yanqiu shouted first~IndoMTL.com~ The two had already agreed that he would be the villain, and Cui Wenxiu would play the part. white face. With an unbelievable look, he shouted like a frightened deer: "Everyone, the Yakuans now control two provinces, but they are on the border of the western border, and they are close to their lair. It's a long way to go back and forth, and you two also know that Mr. Li has strictly ordered us to return to the country immediately after completing the military operation. Our domestic tasks in the east are quite heavy, and we don't have much interest in Indian internal affairs. , I’m afraid it will be difficult to carry out another military operation. The issue of Milo Province and Pamei Province, our opinion is that you can negotiate with the Yakuan people, and you don’t have to resort to force.”

"In addition, your request that we assist in guarding the borders of Milo and Saichin provinces is also open to discussion. We can station part of the army, but the number is limited, and it is impossible to take on the main task. The main responsibility should be It will be borne by your army, and we can assist. As for helping to train the army, there is no big problem, and there is not much difficulty in providing horses and equipment, but you need to go back and report to the Joint Military Staff Meeting for the record."

"As for the last one, I personally find it a bit difficult. Now we don't have more power to coerce the other party. I'm afraid it will not be easy to achieve the goal without bloodshed."

Hu Yanqiu's words were like a few heavy hammers hitting the hearts of the others except Sharma, especially Comoli's rosy face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't help asking in a trembling voice. Said: "My lords, do you really just sit back and watch our Mish territory fall into the hands of the Yakuans and ignore it? Is this in line with the principle of being an ally? If you want the Yakuans to withdraw from the fat in your mouth? Meat can be achieved with words, do you two believe it?"
