Seeing that Mrs. M was already attracted by her bargaining chips, Wu Jizong also made further demands in detail.
Of course, he didn't come up so directly, but said tactfully:
"Maybe one day soon, my Wu family will have to choose independence under the pressure of the Boni royal family. I hope that the MIIS and the United Kingdom can support us in the international remarks on this issue, and do not need to
With tough support, you only need to be biased towards us. In this regard, I think it should not be difficult for the diplomatic department of the United Kingdom, which has produced many outstanding diplomats!"
As the helmsman of Wu, Wu Jizong certainly understands that in addition to the strength and needs of both parties, how to obtain conditions that are beneficial to one's own side to the greatest extent is a skill.
Sometimes you say an excessive request that the other party cannot accept, then settle for the second best and lower the standards, and make another request, then the other party will likely compromise easily, and accept the second one is not so difficult to accept.
conditions.
It’s very difficult to say, but it actually takes advantage of the inertia of human psychology, which is what Mr. Lu Xun calls the house demolition effect.
"If you think the house is too dark and want to open a window, everyone will object to you; but if you say you will demolish the entire roof, they will come and coordinate and say, "You should open a window!"
If you make a lower request from the beginning, you may be rejected. Even if you agree in the end, it will take a lot of extra verbal and energy. But first make an excessive request, and then make the one you really want.
, it will make the other party feel that it is not that difficult to accept, and it will be easier to achieve the goal.
People often do this, without comparison, there is no harm.
Wu Jizong felt that this approach could actually be the other way around.
So he first repeated the conditions he had discussed with Ling Lingqi with Mrs. M so that the other party would have a kind of condition. Since they agreed to this condition, further conditions are not an idea that can't be considered.
.
Margaret knew that the other party's request would definitely not be that simple, so she nodded and said:
"This is the transaction content we decided initially at the beginning. For me, although it takes some thought to promote these, it is not difficult. I think Wu, your conditions should be far more than these, right? Come on, let me
Look at your ambitions!”
Wu Jizong was also used to dealing with foreigners. He knew that these foreigners sometimes spoke implicitly, but most of them were very straightforward and even rough, so he didn't care that this statement was derogatory and unkind in the context of Xia Kingdom. Instead,
The answer with great momentum said:
"Dear Mrs. M, you should know that our Wu family was once a member of the Lanfang Grand Regulatory Country, and this Bonizhou Island and even Java Nixi and many places in many places in the Southeast Asia were once our hard-working Xia people who cultivated and expanded their territory.
But the lazy and evil natives do not work in production. They use various excuses to massacre our Xia people and plunder our pioneering and construction results. But to this day, those natives are still hostile and reject us, completely forgetting Xia.
The contributions made by the tribe members in the development process of Nanyang!”
Speaking of this, although Wu Jizong did not express his purpose in his words, the implication was clearly expressed.
As a master of politics and power struggle, Margaret naturally understood the goal that the Wu family wanted to achieve!
She didn't expect that in addition to independence, the Wu family also had land demand for surrounding areas, which was much beyond her expectations.
The ambition she originally mentioned was that when the Wu family was independent from the Boni Kingdom, they did not establish the country based on the system of the most common republic and democratic state, but wanted to monopolize the power and become a monarchy, at least the current monarchy.
The mainstream constitutional monarchy in the system requires the support of Brittania, the most powerful monarchical country currently in existence.
Because non-monarchical countries led by Franz and the Bald Eagle are very sensitive to this. Since the end of the 19th century, these two countries have directly or indirectly turned into republican countries. Wu wants to
If you become a member of the monarchy independently, then naturally, you will be able to agree and support from Brittania, the leader of the world's royal country today.
But she didn't expect that the Wu family's ambition was even greater than she had imagined, and she actually wanted to annex the territory of the surrounding neighbors and expand her own power!
So Margaret's expression after covering her veil also changed a few times. She no longer had the momentum she would agree to any conditions she had shown before. Instead, she said in a deep voice:
"This question makes me embarrassed, Wu, I need a room!"
Of course, Wu Jizong knew that this kind of request would be untrue if the other party could agree at once. It was completely normal for the other party to discuss it, so he personally led people to arrange the three people from the Military Intelligence Department to the artificial lake in the back garden of Banshan Manor.
, let them talk in the waterside pavilions in the lake that are not blocked by the wind on all sides and are dozens of meters away from the shore.
Such an environment can greatly avoid conversations being eavesdropped.
Margaret was very satisfied with the location arranged by Wu Jizong.
If it is a room like a study room, they have to check whether there is a wiretap device. However, in this empty environment, the surrounding environment is clear at a glance. If you want to steal their conversation, you need to rely on remote radio equipment, but she is by her side
There is an extraordinary guard who is easy to prevent eavesdropping from such devices.
She nodded to the tall windbreaker man beside her. The tall windbreaker man obviously acted as the guardian of Mrs. M., and has never spoken a word since he appeared. Seeing this, he raised one hand and closed his eyes as if he was
It was just like meditation. After a few breaths, the man withdrew his hand and shook his head at Mrs. M.
"No one peeks within one kilometer. As for one kilometer away, I can affect the air here so that the sound cannot be conveyed."
Princess Margaret thanked this person after hearing this. She understood this person's ability to master the most well-known spiritual power in the extraordinary world. However, there are many spiritual media in the world, and they can master the power of mind and form
The combat effectiveness is less than one percent.
The man in the windbreaker is such a powerful C-level peak strength who can control his mind to detect the surrounding environment and transfer objects. Although the size and weight of the object he can move are relatively limited, the existence of extremely lightweight affecting air
It's very easy.
With this move, Margaret and Ling Lingqi can also have a safe conversation.
"Mrs. M, do you really have to agree to the conditions of Governor Wu? That would lead to a territorial conflict that would cause war if you accidentally!"
Ling Lingqi was very cautious. Even in an environment where no one was able to eavesdrop, he did not call His Highness Margaret, so as not to expose Mrs. M's true identity.
Although Mr. James Burton is far inferior to his adoptive mother in the overall situation, he is still very sensitive to intelligence, otherwise he would not have become the seventh legendary agent in the intelligence community of the Palais country.
He could easily predict the possible consequences after the actual launch from the situation of the Wu family!
Princess Margaret is only ten years younger than the sister of Queen Elisabeth, who is nearly ninety years old. She has seen more political conflicts and wars in more than seventy years, so of course she understands these truths better.
But she said to Ling Lingqi:
"I know the seriousness of the problem, but what I want to say is that the Wu family has obviously prepared very well. Even without our support, it will probably be activated, or it will have to be activated! After all, the one who is in the Boni royal family is concerned about Sanli
Kun’s wealth is not for a day or two!”
"With the huge financial resources that made our Alfred family a little jealous, and the support of many Nanyang Xia tribes, do you think they can succeed?"
