In the hall, various countries were discussing the possibility of achieving peace with Tang State. They all knew that as time went by, this war would really be unwinnable.
Maritime trade has been completely paralyzed due to endless wars and wars. Countries are losing a large number of transport ships and supplies every day due to naval wars.
The suspended transactions have also brought the commerce of these countries to a standstill. Without tax revenue, the emperors of various countries have even begun to reduce their expenditures.
No one can, or rather no one is willing to endure such a thing. There is no benefit at all, and who will persist in a war with no victory in sight?
Soon, diplomats from the Tang Kingdom came in, and they brought the conditions of the Tang Kingdom, conditions that the envoys from the various empires in the Eastern Continent wanted to know very much.
However, when they saw these conditions, they were all frightened and turned pale by these harsh conditions. They could not accept it, but they did not have the courage to refuse, so they had to freeze there for a while.
At this time, the wisdom of the Sussus Empire was revealed: they were the first to find the Marquis of Egret, so their price had already been determined.
Because the Susus Empire did not have a navy to participate in the war, they did not suffer any losses. It was just that the economy began to slump due to the impact of the war.
Therefore, the losses they suffered were very small and they did not cause any substantial losses to the Tang State, so they did not need to pay too much war compensation.
In addition, they showed sincerity and provided the approximate location of the combined fleet, so they nominally had to pay 1.5 million war compensation, but in fact they only needed to pay 150,000 gold coins.
It was as if nothing had happened. The Susas Empire could resume trade with the Tang State immediately after the arrival of peace, and could even purchase some of the advanced weapons and equipment from the Datang Group.
As for other countries, the problem is serious: Dorne, Goblin, Lains, Poplar and Ice Empire, plus a mirage country, all participated in the campaign to attack the Tang Dynasty's sea transportation lines.
Therefore, although these countries also had a large number of transport ships sunk by the submarines and destroyers of the Tang Kingdom, they still had to compensate the Tang Kingdom for its huge losses.
After all, if they want to restore peace and end this war with no hope of victory, they must first admit defeat. This is the bottom line that the Tang State adheres to, and many countries are considering whether to compromise.
The Tang State even hoped that Susas would be the first domino to fall. If the Susas Empire accepted it, it would be the first to admit defeat, and would backstab other countries to sign contracts. The Tang State even gave Susas 150,000 gold coins.
Exempted.
In addition, Tang will also exempt Susas from liquidated damages, which is the late payment penalty for the balance of the purchase of aircraft technology due to the interruption of the war.
Including the fine, this amount is probably worth millions of gold coins. If it is waived, it will indeed be very good for the economy of Sussus.

Frankly speaking, Susas was tempted. They began to discuss with various countries privately, conveying the news that they hoped to surrender as soon as possible, so that other countries could understand their choice.
This attitude naturally makes many countries unhappy, but these countries do not dare to irritate the Susas Empire too much. After all, they are a landlocked country, and they have not caused any damage to the Tang Dynasty. The compensation is not much, so it is natural to surrender first.
.
But other countries didn't have it so easy, because the war compensation they had to pay to Tang was astronomical.
After calculation, every country that participated in the strangulation of Tang's maritime transportation lines should compensate Tang with 50 million gold coins! This figure basically extended the money owed by each country for buying aircraft.
In other words, it is roughly equivalent to the previous two years of aircraft technology purchase payments that countries have paid back in vain! Basically, everyone still owes Tang State 100 million gold coins, which needs to be paid back in full within the next two years.
If you add late fees and other fees, it is estimated that the money will be a little more: everyone thought that they would not have to pay back the money, but in the end they owed even more.
Of course, as long as the country that needs to pay reparations takes the money, no matter how miserable it is, it is not unacceptable.
The real misfortunes are the Great China Empire and the Chu State. Both countries lost their territories in this war, and it seems that these territories are basically impossible to get back.
Even, in order not to lose more, they must seize the time to sign a peace treaty with the Tang Kingdom and finalize the border quickly, so as not to allow the Tang Kingdom to take advantage of it.
This is not everyone's imagination, but a real threat: if peace still does not come before the end of winter, the Tang army is likely to continue attacking from the direction of Fengjiang, bypassing the natural barrier of Zangjian Gorge, and invade the hinterland of the Dahua Empire.
And by that time, the Great China Empire is likely to face the risk of collapse.
You know, Qin State has officially signed a memorandum of understanding with Tang State through diplomatic channels. Qin State announced that it would withdraw its troops and withdraw from the war before winter comes. The same is true for Shu State. Each country compensated Tang State with 10 million gold coins, paid tuition, and came
No one knows each other.
If the Great China Empire and the Chu State did not defeat the Tang State before the withdrawal plan of the two countries began, they would probably have to pay a greater price on the battlefield.
As a result, Chu State took the lead in making a decision: anyway, the Dahua Empire has lost, and they no longer have any border with the Dahua Empire, so why not just kneel down and recognize their father again.
Anyway, the people are small and weak, and it is not shameful to recognize a father. Therefore, the price paid by Chu State to Tang State is: The tribute I gave to the Great China Empire before is now given to you! I will be your little brother from now on, and you will be my suzerain!
This coquettish operation was unexpected by the Tang diplomats. They really didn't expect that after defeating the Great China Empire, Chu State would immediately kneel down and admit defeat.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not only that, Chu State also has another bargaining chip: they are willing to sell their oil output, just asking Datang to spare their lives.
After learning the news, the Dahua Empire immediately came up with a more generous plan: Didn't Chu State kneel down? I will officially sever ties with the Chu State and recognize that Chu State is no longer a vassal of the Dahua Empire.
Subordination to the Tang State.
In addition, the Dahua Empire officially recognized the status of the Tang State. If the Tang State was willing to become an empire, the Dahua Empire was willing to accept it.
These are all additional conditions, and there are many real conditions for surrender: the Dahua Empire is willing to compensate the Tang State for 100 million gold coins, and formally cede the southern oil fields, Nanfengkou, Tengyun, and Wangchun City to the Tang State.
At the same time, the Great China Empire promised to renegotiate tariffs on the Tang Dynasty, open Fengjiang City as a treaty port, establish a Tang commodity trade zone, and promote free trade and commercial exchanges between the two countries.
For this reason, the Dahua Empire will spend another 5 million gold coins to redeem part of the west side of Fengjiang City, and each side will occupy half of Fengjiang City to facilitate mutual trade.
The Tang State promised to use the 5 million gold coins redeemed by the Great China Empire for half of Fengjiang City to rebuild Fengjiang, build a train station and an airport, establish regular ports, restore the prosperity of this area, and maintain the stability of this area.
As we talked, the conditions became clear, and everything became natural. The atmosphere that had been depressing just now became lively. At the evening banquet, except for the special envoys of the Great China Empire who did not attend, envoys from various countries toasted to each other.
Changing the lamp seems to have completed its task.
However, the treaty has not yet been signed, and the war is still going on. The lights and feasting in Chang'an City cannot illuminate the places where artillery fire is still raging.
Strauss was still gathering the Chu refugees who fled north on the southern line of the Tang Dynasty, and was still busy building river embankments and roads.
Bolton is still expanding his position outside Fengjiang City, almost encircling this city that has actually been put on the negotiating table.
Deep in the ocean, Tang's submarines are still searching for the combined fleets of various countries, ready to teach these hiding guys a lesson.
On the outskirts of the southern oil field, the anti-aircraft gun barrels erected as far as the eye can see are still endless, and the searchlight beams are constantly swaying at night, like a charming light show.
The steady Tiger deployed his troops in the Zangjian Gorge, putting unprecedented pressure on Zhao Chen. The southern defense line of the Dahua Empire, which was about to lose the support of Shu, began to become less stable again.
Redman, who is as powerful as thunder, has led his army northward, pressing against the southern area of Fengjiang City, like a sharp knife at the throat of the Dahua Empire.
The twenty-meter-long missile covered with canvas in the factory has been debugged and is just waiting for more experimental data before it can be filled with launch fuel and aimed at a target more than 1,600 kilometers away.
Sadly, Zhao Kai, the Emperor of the Great China Empire, does not yet know that his throne has been targeted by a new type of weapon that has never appeared before.
It is a foregone conclusion that the Tang Kingdom will win this war. It just depends on when the emperors behind the special envoys coming from afar will be willing to bow their heads and admit their mistakes.
Drinking and drinking, the music echoed, and the beautiful girl group of Datang Entertainment performed energetic songs and dances on the stage.
Those envoys who had never seen such a battle seemed to have seen another glorious Bunas. They clapped and cheered, enjoying the hard-to-find wine outside.
Looking back at the former Zheng Kingdom's palace at the door, the envoy of the Great China Empire sighed helplessly.
The former owner of this palace was once a vassal of the Great China Empire, but now it has become a place for banquets for guests from other countries. The Great China Empire has failed this time, but who will be next?
"Today you have not fulfilled your promise, and you have not fulfilled your promise. Tomorrow... who will help you fight against this... prosperous Tang Dynasty?" He muttered, and got into the car where his men opened the door.
He wanted to go back and send a telegram to the imperial city, asking the emperor to take care of it and see if the empire could accept such peace conditions.
The car gradually moved away and blended into the lights. It blended into the long flow of traffic and was no longer visible.
