Victor's face stiffened slightly. They, Austria, were manipulated by Long Yan, and all negotiations were based on chips.
Now Austria does not have any leverage to do this.
If they can't handle Dragon Flame, they can only increase the price.
"We in Austria can offer a price that satisfies Long Yan and facilitate this deal."
Li Hongtian smiled faintly: "Then what is Austria's sincerity?"
Victor said coldly: "We can let Long Yan build the railway in Austria for free. Long Yan only needs to use technology, and we in Austria will provide any other materials."
Li Hongtian laughed after hearing this.
"Is this your Austrian sincerity?"
"Do you think we, Long Yan, lack that little money?"
"If you Austria wants our Dragon Flame technology, just say so."
Li Hongtian looked at General Victor with disdain and said calmly: "I, Long Yan, have amassed a million troops at your Austrian port. If I really want to attack your Austria, can your Austria be able to defend it in its current state?"
Victor's face was dark.
Austria is currently at war with Prussia and does not have any extra troops to resist the Longyan Army.
And even if there were, under the absolute force of the Long Yan Army, it would be difficult for their Austrian army to hold on.
This is clearly in danger for Victor.
However, I also think Victor has expressed his attitude. The Long Yan Army can attack at any time and the initiative is in their hands. However, whether the Long Yan Army will launch an attack mainly depends on Austria's attitude.
It's the same thing when they build railways in Austria.
It's just a matter of how much it costs.
Thinking of this, Victor took a deep breath.
Li Hongtian stared at Victor and said calmly: "General Victor has only two roads in front of you. If you want to get the port back, you have to pay the price."
"We will discuss cooperation later."
"Otherwise, just talk about this cooperation and don't mention the port issue."
"For us Long Yan, no matter which choice we make, the outcome is actually the same."
Li Hongtian told Victor with great certainty that if we talk about the previous time, Li Hongtian had given Victor a good look.
Now it is time to clearly tell Victor that the initiative in building this railway is in his hands.
There is no way Victor can refuse!
After thinking about this clearly, Victor finally let out his breath.
In the past three days and nights, the outcome of discussions among the senators in the House of Lords, including Victor, was that Long Yan could negotiate for railway construction.
But the port city occupied by Long Yan must be returned to Austria.
But we can't stimulate Long Yan yet, Austria can give us some benefits.
Their calculation was quite good, but their opponent was Li Hongtian.
This is Long Yan’s Minister of Household Affairs.
Li Hongtian took advantage of the situation and forced Austria to have no way out.
Victor could only say helplessly: "Yes, we in Austria can give up more benefits, and the specific details can be discussed."
Li Hongtian laughed and stood up. Although he was in Austria, this place felt like his own home.
He poured a cup of tea for Victor and said, "Okay, now we can have a good chat."
Victor savored the aroma of tea.
The two men negotiated.
Negotiation is a war without smoke, and Victor and Li Hongtian understand this very well.
