Chapter 22 Negotiations

After that, it was around March 10th, and everything began to enter the regular state.

This agreement about more than ten years later made Tang Yi feel an unbelievable illusion. Although it seemed weak, Tang Yi was actually a person who was far more realistic than the appearance. In other words, the words "you must live in more than ten years" were more than a promise for him, rather than a promise. He was only twenty years old, and he naturally lived in more than ten years. He had never considered death or something at all.

Because of this fact, he felt that he had done something very bad in a few days and made an agreement casually!

However, since that day, Hai Yin has not appeared in his sight again. Speaking of which, it is probably because he untied a knot in his heart and helped Adrian do something shameful. In this way, one day, he may find that he had made a big calluse and surrounded himself.

Such a premonition is really unhappy!

On the other hand, he could no longer spend too much on Haiyin's affairs. Because with the end of the initial contact, representatives of various countries have begun to negotiate cooperation matters in all aspects. The military side is naturally the top priority. Many places have the Guangshen Palace intervened in it. To take advantage, it must be based on a reciprocal position, and there are not many loopholes to take advantage. Tang Yi followed the Marquis of Lynch from the Wein family to handle a series of economic negotiations. To be honest, although Tang Yi thought that both the position and the age of Tang Yi was the youngest in the five-person negotiation team, but he and Catherine signed the entire planning outline. In a sense, he occupied the most important position in this negotiation team. It is also because of this that even if he basically kept a low profile and kept silent, he would inevitably be discriminated against and ridiculed by the other people.

"What, a little kid with only viscount is also joining in the fun..."

"I don't know anything anymore. When we usually have a lot of talks, he just watches from the side..."

"Hey. Isn't it that I have taken over Princess Catherine's light? Yes, he doesn't speak but just watches. He is sent to supervise us, right?"

"Are we worried about anything? What a redundant boy... Look, have we agreed with several small countries in the past few days as planned? Ahhh, what is the right to jointly mine, reduce the cost of entry into the country. There are also countries that are not allowed to intervene in my country's trade activities, etc., when did other countries intervene in our caravans? What's even more inexplicable is the place where the shares are held. Speaking of which, what is the use of this shares? Can we really account for 49% of the things from other countries? What's more, what's the use of only 49% of the shares..."

"I heard that this kid proposed something, and it took a lot of benefits. He said that he wanted to make these things useful. In fact, he could not grasp the treaty first. There will be great benefits in the future. Ahh. Does he really understand this?"

"Well, it's Princess Catherine's request, just bear it..."

It is not as large as the military negotiating team. However, among the five members of the economic negotiating team, Lynch and the other two are marquises, and there is also an earl. Relatively speaking, the viscount Tang Yi seems a bit insignificant. In the first few negotiations, he did not comment on anything, and walked around to serve tea and pour water, which seemed to be just a supervisory role. Although this role was arranged by Catherine, the rest of the people naturally did not dare to talk about her. Therefore, except for the Marquis Lynch, the other three people were basically talking ill-hearted words about Tang Yi without restraint.

In fact, in this era of the mainland, the so-called tariffs and other things were not valued, because long journeys in commercial activities were originally a kind of act of large-scale money. Relatively speaking, the fees that each level needs to pay have long been accepted by everyone. Since there are not many roads on the mainland, large caravans cannot choose to cross mountains and evade taxes. As for small commercial activities, they are basically only carried out at close range and have little impact. As for state intervention in the economy, such behaviors will only be used when monopoly may occur. There are only two or three cases in the history of the entire continent, and most of them seem abnormal and have not been recognized at all. In other words, at this time, Catherine had already planned to use the economy to monopolize the lifelines of some small countries. Under the operation of a big country like Atroca, similar monopoly is not whimsical.

Speaking of which, although he participated in the planning, it was a bit unfair to put the blame on Tang Yi. Although he understood these economic models, under such an empire system, it was actually not certain which ones could be used. When he first discussed with Catherine, he probably proposed the same system, and then analyzed and summarized it by Catherine and the staff team to finally determine what advantages to gain in the negotiations. As for how these seemingly empty checks should be fulfilled in the next few years, Tang Yi didn't know the specific plan, so the rest of them naturally couldn't figure it out. In the final analysis, for this negotiation group, compared with the economic perspective, they were more outstanding in their unimpeded eloquence.

In this way, on the third day of the discussion, they met Selinger's economic ambassador for the first time.

Speaking of which, whether it is military or economic, for Atroka, only Selinger can be considered a real big shot. They must obtain various minerals and resources that determine the future trend of the country, and they basically make their own decisions on each other. On the other hand, such negotiations are actually not the formal exchanges between the two countries. This is probably the default rule for exchanges between countries. Before an agreement is actually signed, they will confirm everything in the form of private contact and relationships, so as to ensure that there is no missed in the formal occasion. Of course, this does not mean that private exchanges can be counted at any time. Once determined, most of them will be listed one by one in the form of a treaty. If anyone wants to repent, it is also related to the national system.

In late spring, the clouds have been cloudy for several days. It was only then that the genius finally started to rain. According to the agreement the day before, the two missions, which were not big in size, met in the most luxurious hotel in the imperial capital. They were both five people. However, what surprised Tang Yi was that the person led by the other party was Daisy, who was always famous for military and martial arts.

It is impossible to determine whether the other party is self-evident. Not only is it outstanding in military science, but it is also an all-rounder with great experience in economics. Because from the beginning, the third princess has already expressed her attitude: "I just came to study with several teachers and accumulated

It's just a test." And when the greetings were roughly completed, they asked a question to each other. The third princess, who had always maintained a strong external appearance, also shouldered the responsibility of serving tea and water for several representatives of Selingge. During this period, it was inevitable that Tang Yi, who was doing the same thing.

"Mr. Al Rezaduk seems to be very knowledgeable about the economy, and Daisy is also interested in this area recently. I wonder when I can make an appointment to ask Mr. Rezaduk to give Daisy some advice?"

Walking into the compartment and mixing the drinks in each other, Daisy first pulled the topic with a charming smile. However, in the voice, there was a bit of irony that could not be concealed. Tang Yi could only smile for a moment for such a thing.

"Ha. I don't dare to take it. I know nothing about these things. It's just that Mrs. Catherine told me to come and learn and take a look..."

"Oh, it turns out that Mrs. Catherine means...I heard that Mr. Rezaduk and Mrs. Catherine are relatively close. I wonder if this is the case? Ah, Mr. Rezaduk should not be misunderstood. It's just that one day I saw Mrs. Catherine's skin was well maintained. Daisy wanted to find someone who was familiar with me to ask what secret recipes there are..."

"Uh, hehe... Actually, it's just ordinary friends, but everyone is more in love with each other, so Mrs. Catherine has always taken care of... As for the secret recipe...ah, is this also the secret recipe for Princess Daisy to make coffee? It's really amazing..."

"Ah? What secret recipe? Is coffee and sugar a secret recipe?" Princess Daisy often looked at the small spoon in her hand and Tang Yi in surprise and admiration, "Haha, add three spoons at a time, yes, yes, this is the exclusive secret recipe for my coffee brewing... "

"But... when brewing Betty's flower tea, you use light salt in the ground... Although it is not very salty after treatment, you add so much..."

“…”

Next, due to face issues, several representatives of Selinger could only drink salted coffee in pain while having chat-style negotiations with the envoys of Atrocati. Looking at the expressions on both sides, it can be said that they complement each other, and the expressions of the most outstanding pair of men and women seemed quite strange at the moment.

"I can't tell a word if it's low-key or really incompetent, but looking at the way they looked... he was obviously removed from the situation when discussing things. At least he was not very popular, because he was forced and relied on nepotism... I'm so familiar with flower tea, coffee, and taking care of children. No matter how you look at it, they are just a little bitch. However, the information shows that Atroka's unique economic means were all from his work, whether it was an intelligence error or Atroka's side was mysterious... No matter what, you can't lose to your brother anyway..."

A pretty face that was usually cold and cold, now there was a faint charming smile on her face. The third princess of Selingge crossed her hands and held her chin, staring at the people opposite her with a burning eyes, making the other party feel uncomfortable, showing the usual style of this powerful female general. On the other side, she was absent-mindedly flipping through the thick topic list. Tang Yi occasionally raised her head, touched her eyes indifferently, showed a charming smile, and murmured in Chinese in Chinese that others could not understand.

"...Oh, looking at me, looking at me... I'm still looking at me, and I'll drink you...Okay, okay, I'm kidding, but what's your purpose...It doesn't matter if you can't make tea, coffee, but a famous general will not have a view of the overall situation. He must believe in what he says he is learning... Say it, say it... Let me see what you are trying to do..."

There are many reciprocal exchanges between two major powers. For example, if you give half of the mineral, I will export 40% of the mineral. When you list all the things you want on the topic, you will review and pass them through the people who have the power to make decisions, and then negotiate again during the meeting until everyone's wishes are basically the same, and finally you can sign a preliminary agreement.

This kind of thing takes a lot of time. Of course, it is not the first time that we can decide. However, as a relatively formal contact between the two countries, in order to show that they have not wasted time, according to the usual tradition, they will first decide some harmless small things as symbols of each other's sincerity. Without Tang Yi and Daisy's participation in the negotiations, they are four to four. In the end, they decided to submit the next small piece of parchment to both sides of the meeting. After the four of Selingge's side agreed, they asked Daisy's opinion, and the four of the Marquis Lynch simply skipped Tang Yi. After a whisper, they were ready to agree. However, the four of them exchanged certain eyes, and Princess Selingge on the opposite side stood up with a frown.

"Wait, I think these two items need to be modified..."

At the same time, Tang Yi also pushed the parchment paper in his hand to the four people beside him, picked up a quill pen and drew a small strip that was almost meaningless in the eyes of others, and put forward an opinion at such a meeting for the first time: "Four adults, I think it is necessary to discuss this again."

Seeing the outline, Daisy suddenly frowned, and her eyes looked at Tang Yi as sharp as an ice arrow, but the other party just looked back with a calm smile. Just last night, when she took over the mission of economic negotiations, the unscrupulous brother only listed this simple proposal. Then he made a bet with herself.

"Ah, look, look Daisy, economy is a very important part. I originally thought that I could easily obtain relatively equal resources. But now it seems that Atroca is a bit aggressive. Mrs. Catherine is very smart, but unfortunately she is a woman. Of course, Daisy doesn't have to be angry. I mean... women always have a kind of plundering**, which is stronger than men at some point. Mrs. Catherine's appearance seems to be very different from Daisy, but the inner is the same, Daisy, when you gain an advantage, how many enemies will you let you go? Because of this, I think we have to make a little correction to this goal. Well, tomorrow you go and look, if someone can make an opinion on this article... Daisy, we are in trouble..."

Next, the originally harmonious negotiation scene began to become chaotic. Compared with Daisy, who had a clear position, Tang Yi's position seemed much more awkward. Not only did she have to face the aggressive bombing of Princess Daisy in front, but the fire in the backyard was also particularly obvious. The three nobles except Lynch were polite and slightly mocking questions. Later, they began to accuse Tang Yi of not understanding these things at all. Fortunately, the two points pointed out by Princess Daisy were also emphasized by Mrs. Catherine in advance. Both sides did not let go for a while. In the end, the whole meeting almost ended in an unhappy atmosphere.

When everyone walked out the door and was about to split up their legs, Princess Daisy looked at Tang Yi with obvious vitality and heroism, which was an extremely elegant smile.

"Ha, then I'll see you next time, Mr. Al Rezaduk, but before that, it seems you'll have to deal with a lot of trouble."

"Ah." Tang Yi smiled and nodded, "I hope we can have a better date next time."

His face turned slightly red, Daisy raised her chin and said proudly: "I'm looking forward to it too!"

As Daisy said, Tang Yi seemed to have a lot of trouble next time. The several representatives alone took a lot of effort to complain in front of Mrs. Catherine. The representatives were not members of the Central Department, so they naturally could not suppress them with the decisive means of treating the Central Department in daily life. It took Tang Yi and Mrs. Catherine's great talk to make them believe that Tang Yi's doubts were indeed reasonable. However, Tang Yi also understood that all departments led by the Central Department have been strongly impacted by the Military Department for several days, and the anxiety and irritability of these people are indeed from their own origins.

"In establishing a new military system, the army must have the ability to be autonomous. In many places, people who don't understand should not point fingers. The restrictive authority of the central department must be reduced..."

"The army must increase its budget and equipment for various materials. According to analysis, it is only that the battle of Kunen Fort can facilitate the dispatch of so many high-level warriors, and completed the brainwashing of thousands of people in the Flame Dragon Legion. The combat power of the orcs has been increased to a terrible level. Even if there are still decades of time to prepare, it is not enough, and it is not certain how many years the other party will give us..."

"The orc's soft monster has been confirmed to appear. It is not yet certain how many people have infiltrated the empire. The military needs regulatory authority if necessary..."

Under the propaganda of the Palace of Light, whether it is a cup of bows and snakes, it is true. In short, the call for expanding the army has been increasing. In recent decades, the empire has not had a super-large foreign war, and the war with the barbarians has been maintained in a medium size. The position of the army has been declining. If it is suddenly increased, the entire empire's power class will face the biggest round of reshuffle. For a time, these are just close to the core of power and dependent on the large family to survive. And on Catherine's side, the suppression of the central department has been unquestionable.

"Well, two counts went to Wall's house yesterday. I heard that the head of Benjamin received them in person..."

The files of the large book accumulated a table and a floor, similar to the decorations in a small courtyard room in Danmadi. The middle-aged man in the four-person group of the central department took a sip of coffee and informed everyone of the information they had just handed over.

"Oh, you can imagine that the Wall family was originally a big head of the military headquarters. Now it is really a hero's choice to surrender to the past, but from your tone, these two gentlemen used to be ours?" He lay on a book of open land files, and the frivolous boy sighed. "I miss Amy so much, why can't Amy come to the imperial capital with us..."

"That's because you didn't propose to her!" the cold-faced woman next to her said lightly.

"Ah, how dare I propose to her at this time? Although we have been hiding in the dark, if the military headquarters goes crazy, we might die in an instant, by the way. The news just came out yesterday that as soon as the orcs were reported, the Southwest military began to drive us people. As long as it is obvious, it will either rise or fall in secret, or be transferred to the front line to deal with the orcs, it will not give us any face..."

"This is expected..." The white-haired old man looked at the file and said, "The southwest has been fighting against the barbarian front line. He is relatively strong and has few restrictions from the central government. Several generals have a domineering personality. I am surprised if I don't do this..."

"Oh, military headquarters, military headquarters..." After sighing, the frivolous young man collapsed on the file again, then raised his head and said to the inner room, "Boss Al, have you always had the best solution? Tell me, how can we give them some colors?"

"Well, ask me?" A shocked voice came from the information room in the inner room. "Uh, I think apart from the stupid idea of ​​launching the beheading operation, I'm afraid that we can only control the military headquarters..."

"We control the military headquarters? Just kidding, how can we control it all at once..."

"Of course it is impossible, but if we have military geniuses who have been suppressed but have surprisingly strong and famous strength and fame, once we build momentum in the central government, the status of the central department will naturally increase. Of course, this is impossible..."

"I have seen a story before..." A cold-faced woman spoke with a blank expression, "A monkey saw someone taking a bath, so she ran over and asked, 'People, why is your tail so short?'..."

“…”

It was a vivid tone, but in an instant, everyone's expressions were a little distorted, the room was cold, and the woman continued without any influence.

"...This story tells us not to compare our own weaknesses with other people's strengths. Even if there are military geniuses, they will only stand on the side of the military headquarters, because we were the ones who suppressed them at the beginning..."

"An, Sister Angelina, when you say a cold joke in the future, please remind me first?" The frivolous boy shivered and turned to the inner room. "Ah, Boss Al, I see you have read so much military information these days. Do you want to be that military genius?"

"Oh, no, I'm just looking through Princess Daisy's information, wanting to understand how these military geniuses think, but the conclusion is very strange..."

"What's weird?"
