Chapter 20: Armistice agreement
Speaking of Task 3 released by the system, Lin Fan had a lot of conjectures.
First of all, the system will never release meaningless tasks, nor will it give meaningless rewards.
I suddenly gave myself a personal ability last time, mech driving, but this time I suddenly released a task, and the reward was that mech driving was upgraded to A.
This makes Lin Fan very concerned.
As a human with an explosive IQ and a highly developed brain, Lin Fan quickly guessed hundreds of possibilities.
However, Lin Fan believes that the most likely thing is that he will experience a certain situation in the future and require mecha driving ability.
But this is not what Lin Fan wants to consider now. At this moment, he is still more curious about the army commander of the Aux Empire mentioned in the system mission.
He remembered that what the other party had told was that there were only ordinary negotiators. However, Lin Fan would not doubt the system. Since the system had said it, it was certain.
Soon, the personnel from both sides entered the temporary space station. A long table was arranged inside, with a row of 6 chairs on the left and right.
After sitting down, Lin Fan looked at the 6 Orchians on the opposite side, and quickly locked on the one sitting at the top.
Obviously, you can feel the aura of the superior from him. This should be the commander-in-chief of Adams as the system said.
Feeling Lin Fan's gaze, Adams looked over with his eye catching eyes.
"This shouldn't be a negotiator, right?"
After watching Lin Fan for a few seconds, Adams smiled and said casually.
"Indeed, he is the commander of the fleet who escorted me, not a negotiator. The negotiation is handled by the five of us. He is just an observer, you don't need to care."
Ed, who also sat in the first place, responded immediately.
But Ed is still a little surprised, the other party is really keen, it seems that the negotiation will not be too easy.
"Since you said that, let's do it! We can start!"
"Well, today we are mainly talking about the handling of the nine princes of your empire."
"Huh, let's be straight, what are your conditions?"
"It's very simple. You withdrew from the solar system. You have already occupied all of our alien territories. There is no need to kill them all!"
"This is impossible. Today I promise you that I will be executed by the Emperor tomorrow. Let's change the terms!"
"Our federation only has this one condition. If the Ninth Prince has an accident, I don't think you can bear it, right?"
"The same sentence, the nine princes are dead, the emperor will execute me, but if I agree to withdraw from the solar system, the emperor will also execute me, so it is better for you to change a realistic condition, otherwise it will not be possible."
It was really difficult, Ed thought silently in his heart.
However, it is observed through facial expressions that the other party is not thinking that the other party is lying, but if this is the case, it will be impossible to let the other party out of the solar system.
is also death, the other party will also choose a method of death with a good reputation, after all, being threatened to retreat is not a reputation.
So where is the breakthrough? Ed couldn't help having a headache.
"In that case, how about changing the conditions to ten years of armistice?"
At this moment, Lin Fan, who was sitting at the end, spoke. Ed and the four people he brought with him turned their heads to look at Lin Fan in surprise.
"Sorry, we need to discuss it internally."
"Whatever!"
In this space station, there is a room on each side, which is specially designed for this situation.
After Ed's eyes motioned to Lin Fan, he immediately took the lead and walked to a room on his side.
Lin Fan smiled bitterly and stood up and followed in.
"Lin Fan, I remember saying that you were just here to listen!"
"Uncle Ed, I think it is necessary for me to popularize some knowledge from a military perspective! Otherwise you will make a wrong judgment!"
"Ok?"
After hearing Lin Fan's answer.
Ed has gradually changed from unhappiness at the beginning to curiosity. Did he really miss any important aspect?
"Uncle Ed, why do you think we can maintain a temporary confrontation with each other at the moment?"
"Because Liang Xingchen hurt them in the asteroid belt six years ago, they would not be willing to have another war with us in the asteroid belt before they were sure!"
"Yes, then, if the other party agrees to withdraw from the solar system, does the Federation dare to go out of the asteroid belt? If not, what is the use of letting the other party to withdraw?"
"Uh!"
Ed was stunned by Lin Fan's words, yeah, even if the other party withdrew from the solar system, would we dare to go out of the barrier of the asteroid belt?
Apart from anything else, it is the only surviving Fourth Fleet of the Federation.
Once out of the asteroid belt, the opponent will return a carbine, and there will be no more warriors for human beings.
You need to know, if it’s not in the asteroid belt, you let Liang Xingchen’s 20,000 warships deal with people’s 100,000 warships. Isn’t this just looking for death?
In the space where there is no environmental terrain at all, what the two sides compete is the performance of warships, the formation of the commander, the ability of artillery strikes, and evasion.
If the capabilities of the two commanders are not far apart, the performance of the warship is the decisive factor, and everyone knows that the warships of the Federation are not as advanced as the warships of the Ox Empire.
This is the reason why Barnard and Tianyuan Si have never won a match between the 1st to 3rd Fleet next door.
The number is not comparable, the performance of the battleship is not comparable, and no one has more experience as a commander. What can you do to win?
So, does it really make sense to ask the other party to withdraw from the solar system now?
is meaningless at all, not only that, but also wasting a card in his hand.
"Uncle Ed, you should know about the curvature engine, right?"
Seeing Ed's expression, it seemed that he wanted to understand, Lin Fan continued to speak.
"I know, for this reason, your old man is screaming in front of me!"
"Uh... So the old man still has this side, I really don't know... I digress, so what we need now is not the other party's exit from the solar system, but time."
"Time?"
"Yes, when our curvature engine is fully installed, that is, when our counterattack begins, Uncle Ed should also know about industrial robots. When we apply it in large quantities, the shipbuilding speed will increase several times. ."
"So, what we really need is time?"
"Yes, time, nothing else makes any sense!"
"Okay~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I understand, I really have served you kid now, military evildoer, scientific research evildoer, but the vision of things is still evil..."
"Hehe, uncle praised, let's go out!"
Soon, the two returned to the negotiating table.
"Sorry, it's rude, let's continue!"
"Yes, but there is no need to mention impossible conditions, otherwise it will be a waste of time."
"Then, as Lin Fan just said, replace it with the ten-year truce!"
"I can agree to this condition, but when are you going to return it to the Ninth Prince?"
"Naturally, it will be returned after the ten-year period has passed."
"Impossible, what if you threaten the Nine Princes again in ten years?"
"Then don't know what your opinion is?"
"If you want to return it afterwards, I promise five years at most, and return it now, I can promise ten years!"
"It's impossible to return it now. What if you don't admit it?"
"Sure, then five years!"
Lin Fan no longer wants to listen to the content behind it, it is almost the same as bargaining in the vegetable market.
After all, it doesn't matter to Lin Fan whether it is 5 years or 10 years. What the two sides are fighting now is nothing more than the ultimate diplomatic victory.
If the final negotiation is ten years, it will give people the feeling that this negotiation is Lin Fan's victory, but if the negotiation is five years, then it will feel like the victory of the Ox Empire.
According to Lin Fan's estimation, it is likely to be 7 or 8 years in the end. In the end, everyone stepped back and reached an agreement.
As expected by Lin Fan, the final agreement between the two parties was 7 years.
But when everyone was about to sign a formal agreement, the accident happened again.
