Chapter 1771 Never give in

From a personal perspective, Luo Zheng hopes that the war will end soon, giving the Huk tribe a chance to develop peacefully, and that the brothers can return home safely; from a national interest perspective, Luo Zheng hopes that this war will continue If it goes on, it will not only train talents for the country, but also drag Sam Country into the quagmire of war, and also create chaos in Sam Country's traditional interest areas. As long as there is chaos in Sam Country's back garden, there will be no care for others, and there will be a lot less resistance to the development of the country. , this is the mission of the military, why not do it?

Punader's threat of hiding a needle in his cotton made Luo Zheng feel very uncomfortable, and he contradicted him without hesitation. Punader said this just to win the initiative in the negotiation and fight for more rights. He didn't expect Hook's reaction to be so violent, let alone Thinking of Luo Zheng's resolute attitude, he couldn't help but be startled, quickly changed his strategy, and said with a calm smile: "Don't worry, now that we are sitting down, let's have a good talk."

"Okay, go ahead. It's best to explain your conditions at once. Our time is limited." Lan Xuefu said calmly, trying to smooth things over for both parties.

"Okay." Punader glanced at Lan Xue in surprise, without asking any questions. His eyes fell on Luo Zheng again. Faintly, Punader could feel that the success of the negotiation depended on Luo Zheng, not Hook. , quickly adjusted his strategy, stopped probing and provoking, and said bluntly: "Now that the words have been spoken, let's say it directly. We want the mining rights of tantalum, support for the founding of the country, withdrawal of troops, and mining rights. These three points are ours. Core interest demands, now tell us your conditions.”

Luo Zheng glanced at Hu Ke, who said dissatisfiedly: "Three of them are nonsense. If there is no room for maneuver, don't talk about it. Brother, you tell me how to talk about it. I will listen to you."

"You heard it too, is there any need to talk about it again?" Luo Zheng looked at Punader coldly and asked.

"Of course it's necessary to negotiate. I'll make the offer and you'll counteroffer." Punad said with a smile.

"You have violated my principle of not bargaining. This is your last chance to tell me your bottom line." Luo Zheng said coldly, his tone unquestionable.

"I've already put forward the conditions, tell me your requirements." Punader didn't want to reveal his trump card, but handed the ball to Luo Zheng and pricked up his ears to listen.

Luo Zheng knew that the opponent was playing ball, so he was not polite and said coldly: "First, withdraw the troops back to your base within two days. Use the edge of the forest as the boundary. You are not allowed to enter the forest even half a step, otherwise it will be regarded as a war; second, the base does not allow If there are more than 1,000 troops stationed, missiles are not allowed to be deployed. Let’s talk about whether we can agree to these two points first, and then we can continue the discussion.”

It is necessary to withdraw the troops. There must be no troops from the Sam Country in the forest. As for the military base, it is a strategic cooperation between the host country and the Sam Country. It is impossible to withdraw the troops. The only way is to reduce the garrison as much as possible and restrain the force.

Punader's face froze and he began to ponder. Luo Zheng did not press any questions and waited patiently. His eyes looked at Punader's ears intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that there should be an invisible headset inside, and he should be receiving instructions from his superiors at this moment. , gave Lan Xue and Hu Ke a look, and the two nodded silently in tacit understanding.

Time passed by, and after about three minutes, Punader's expression suddenly changed and he said seriously: "I can agree to the first item, but I can only agree to half of the second item. There is no problem with garrisoning a thousand troops, but We must have missiles. What if you go back on your word? We can guarantee that we will only arrange two missile launchers, with the emphasis on deterrence."

Luo Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Let's put this issue aside for now and talk about the following conditions. You launched an unprovoked attack and caused huge losses to the Huk tribe. War compensation must be provided. I will give you a detailed list of compensation. Are there any questions? "

"No problem, but we must change our name. It is not battlefield compensation, but nation-building assistance. That is, the Sam Country will support the nation-building, the two sides will establish formal diplomatic relations, and our country will provide you with a batch of supplies." Punad said seriously, We have no intention of giving in on this issue.

Luo Zheng knew that the Sam Country was trying to save face. War compensation meant failure, while founding assistance had a completely different meaning. With this premise, the negative impact of the Sam Country's failure could be swept away. After thinking about it, he looked towards Hook said, "You decide that question."

"Don't worry, let's talk about the rest." Hook said calmly.

"That's fine." Luo Zheng agreed, as long as compensation is paid, no matter what Sam Guoai says, they are all lies to ordinary people. It has no impact on the Huk tribe, but it has an impact on his own country. He thought for a while and said: "No. Sam State supported the founding of the country, but a third party from China mediated. The two parties reached a reconciliation and established diplomatic relations. Out of peace considerations, Sam State supported the Huk tribe with a batch of supplies as a witness to the diplomatic relations. This is not negotiable."

Seeing that Luo Zheng took a step back but made a new request, Punader couldn't help but feel embarrassed and kept silent. Luo Zheng guessed that he was waiting for the decision from above again and was too lazy to delay, so he continued: "I know you I can’t decide, so I’ll finish it all at once, and you can answer me when you’re mature.”

"Okay, you continue talking." Punad said quickly.

"The core of the war between the two sides is the rare metal resource tantalum. I know you will not give up on this. The Huk tribe can be responsible for developing it. Of course, you provide the equipment, and Huaxia has the exclusive distribution rights, and Huaxia resells it at the international market price. I'll give you 50%." Luo Zheng said seriously, looking at Hook with a questioning look in his eyes. After all, this kind of resource belongs to Hook's tribe, and it would be impossible without Hook's consent.

Hook nodded without hesitation and said: "I agree with the issue of exclusive operating rights. In addition, I will invite China to mine together. The specific method will not be discussed here." His tone was firm and there was no room for doubt.

Luo Zheng smiled gratefully and looked at Punader. Punader couldn't tell the relationship between the two. His face turned bitter. He knew that if he didn't agree, he would have to fight. The matter was so important that Punader couldn't agree directly. While he was deep in thought, Hook took the opportunity to say: "You only have one day to think about it. One day later I will continue to launch a war and at the same time openly invite China to jointly mine."

An open invitation means that China can send people over openly, which will lead to increased war variables. This is a good thing for the Huk tribe, but it will cause a lot of trouble for the Sam country. Punader is not stupid and knows This was Hook's disguised expression of gratitude and repayment for China's support. If it was not stopped, it would bring greater trouble to the country and bring more variables to the war. His face sank and he quickly said: "No problem, please give us a day." We will give you time to consider and will give you a reply within one day.”

"Counting from now on, you will give me a reply within twenty-four hours." Hook said coldly.

"What else?" Punader looked at Luo Zheng and asked.
