The contact between the two parties was full of tension from the beginning, which shows the importance of Wanmi Mining as a mediator.
However, Gothel remained silent. His thinking was more commercial and less like a pure supernatural warrior.
In his view, as long as there is some negotiation, it is not a bad thing. Both sides are just trying to gain the upper hand.
Qu Jianlei was not happy when he heard the military A-level words, "What do you mean by openly attacking the Anti-Smuggling Department's fleet?"
"Don't you know who ordered those people? Pretending to be confused...what do you want to do?"
The military A-level kept silent. He also knew what was going on at the Anti-Smuggling Department.
If such a big matter had not involved the private use of official weapons of the Anti-Smuggling Department, the military's response would never have been so calm.
Strictly speaking, if the military can accompany us this time, it will be considered as a favor to the Anti-Smuggling Department.
When it comes to this topic, the military will never take the initiative to get involved, and there must be a limit to helping others wipe their butts.
Sharif's face became a little hot, but he couldn't help but answer, "Let's not talk about the instigation. What you fired first was right, right?"
Qu Jianlei's face sank slightly, "Why don't you say anything? Put aside the reasons and talk about the results... Do you think we are easy to bully?"
Sharif's face darkened, and he spoke word by word, "Your ship actively attacks the imperial anti-smuggling personnel. Isn't this correct?"
"You want to have some face," Qu Runlei replied casually, "Is that a regular anti-smuggling team member?"
Sharif was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that the other party actually knew this and even forgot to be angry.
But then I thought about it, it’s normal for such a powerful force to be well-informed.
He replied sternly, "Although most of them are temporary hires, they have the same law enforcement powers as regular staff."
Qu Jianlei waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "If you have this attitude, then let's stop here."
"We have repeatedly emphasized and presented the inspection-free pass, but they must force the inspection."
Sharif knew this detail and also knew the mentality of those crew members - they are all looking for trouble, no matter what documents you have!
He hesitated and replied, "There was an emergency at the time, and they also had the power to make temporary decisions."
Qu Jianlei glanced at him sideways, "What was the emergency at that time? Please explain it to me clearly."
Sharif replied in a deep voice, "There are too many starships taking off and landing on the transit star, the cargo throughput is large, and there are too many various breakthrough situations."
Qu Runlei frowned and said unhappily, "Isn't that a strong argument? You can make up some excuse."
"I'm surprised you're so unreasonable... Do you want to take the blame on yourself?"
Sharif remained silent. He had no intention of taking any grudges into his own hands, otherwise he would really be making up excuses.
The other party dared to open fire directly on the anti-smuggling ship. Even if he, the supreme leader, joined forces with the Norton family, it would probably be enough. Not to mention, the other party also had contact with the Haiyin family.
So he could only say, "I am negotiating on behalf of the Anti-Smuggling Department. It has nothing to do with the individual. The inspection-free pass is not omnipotent." Qu Jianlei stopped talking and glanced at Gothel intentionally or unintentionally - there were some words he didn't know.
It is convenient or not to say.
Gothel was watching the show with a smile on his face. When he heard this, he said -: Why the hell does this involve me?
Although Rhodiola rosea didn't say anything, it was clear at this glance: Look, you got this certificate for me.
He frowned and spoke unhappily, "Your Excellency Sharif, you are a temporary anti-smuggling team member, so you are not qualified to inspect an exempted starship, right?"
Sharif looked at him in surprise, his eyes full of confusion: Didn't you say that the two of you didn't want to help each other? Why did you end up like this?
Gothel was heartbroken, "We helped to apply for the certificate. It's not omnipotent, and it can't be checked by just anyone, right?"
When Qu Runlei saw this, he couldn't help but sigh, big forces are tough, and he said this directly. To be honest, because he has not integrated into the imperial society, he did a very bad job of grasping this sense of proportion.
Military A-level news
He spoke, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, seeming to be suppressing a smile.
Sharif tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and it was obvious that he was a little embarrassed.
After seven or eight seconds, he expressed his position aloud, "Then let's not talk about this. These casualties..."
"You go talk to the Norton family," Qu Jianlei interrupted without hesitation, "It has nothing to do with us!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you clearly that we have to go to his house to pay for our ammunition consumption and other expenses. You'd better hurry up."
It's better to move faster... Sharif could tell that what the other party meant was that if we move slower, the Norton family might be gone.
Isn't this too sinister? He silently mourned for the Norton family in his heart: It was really unfortunate. So he decisively dropped the topic, "Anyway, you will take away a warship from our anti-smuggling department."
"They are retired!" Qu Jianlei corrected the other party, "That's our trophy. Say something else."
"This must be said," Sharif said without hesitation, "the warships of the Anti-Smuggling Department must not be leaked out!"
"To tell you the truth, this is our bottom line. Everything else is easy to negotiate. This battleship must be returned."
The A-level military officer stopped looking at the joke and spoke out, "Sir, this is related to the face of the Anti-Smuggling Department."
Qu Jianlei did not respond immediately, but remained silent for a few seconds.
When he found that Xiaohu, a money fanatic, was silent, he said calmly, "What if I don't pay back?" Sharif said nothing with a cold face, but lit a cigarette.
After taking two puffs, he slowly said, "You can give it a try... We have made the biggest concession."
Qu Runlei was stunned for a moment, then he lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and replied with a smile, "Then let's give it a try."
"Okay, what a big deal," the military A-class came out and talked to Xini.
"It's fine if you don't return it, just destroy it... just send the holographic video. This thing can't be left outside. It's a matter of principle."
"How can it be destroyed?" Sharif flatly refused. "The warship painted by the Anti-Smuggling Department was destroyed and a video was made of it. Who are you bullying?"
Gothel also came forward to reconcile, "Sharif, let's discuss it carefully. If you two work together, the Norton family will be happy."
"It will be fine if we return the battleship," Sharif continued to insist, "We don't care about our heavy losses, isn't it enough?" Then he glanced at Qu Jianlei, "If the Anti-Smuggling Department really fights you, do you think the Norton family will help?
who?"
"Haha," Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly, "How many Supremes can there be in the Norton family?"
"If you insist on fighting with me, do you know who else is behind me? Be careful that the anti-smuggling department will push you out as a scapegoat."
Sharif's expression changed when he heard this. He had advanced to the highest level for hundreds of years. How had he ever heard such a threat - to make me a scapegoat?
However, he hasn't been able to have an attack yet. This possibility exists objectively. Compared with the huge anti-smuggling department, what does being a supreme person mean?
The most important thing is that he did his homework beforehand and knew that the other party was close to the Haiyin family - and she was Miss Six!
To most people, Rhine is just an A-level awakened person with great potential, but the highest level of information is different.
He suppressed his anger and said, "I have no intention of provoking a fight, but we must take back the battleship. This is the bottom line!"
Military A-levels and Gothel couldn't say anything more. Matters involving the honor of the department were not easy to make casual noises about.
Qu Runlei was also a little speechless, "What if I have already disassembled it?"
There are people who really know how to dismantle warships, and the profits are not low - he himself has purchased the dismantled weapon systems.
Especially since this was a trophy, even the purchase cost was saved.
"Dismantle..." Hearing this, Sharif's head also got big. He knew that the other party had already damaged the battleship.
"I think disassembly is unlikely. According to the damage control personnel, only the power transmission system was damaged."
"What if it has been repaired?" Qu Jianlei asked calmly, "Return it
Is your boat intact?"
Upon hearing this, Sharif's expression changed again, "Then what do you want? Do you still want maintenance fees?"
Qu Jianlei nodded, "You can have this, the maintenance fee is not high, 50 million is enough."
"Impossible," Sharif shook his head simply. This was a question of nature. "Let us pay to redeem our warships?"
Gothel spoke up, "That was paid by the Anti-Smuggling Department, not by you personally... Why is it so tense?"
Who doesn’t know how fat the Anti-Smuggling Department is? Even though Wanmi Mining doesn’t take them seriously, it still pays them benefits every year.
"That's not what you said," Sharif shook his head in distress, "If I come back with these terms, why don't others laugh out loud?"
"There is no compensation for the loss of the three battleships and the dead and injured personnel, and they still have to pay 50 million!"
"Buying a brand new one only costs 7 to 8 billion. I am a dignified person, don't you want to lose face?"
Qu Runlei snorted coldly, "Only your face is face, don't we not want face?"
"How about I change the terms and you hand over the rope guards involved and related people of the Norton family to me, and give you a ship that is intact."
Sharif shook his head like a rattle, "This is impossible, hand over the anti-smuggling agent to you? You are overthinking!"
"Then there's no need to talk about this," Qu Jianlei said seriously.
"Then let's not talk about it!" Sharif said, "I am sincere, but you can't see your sincerity at all!"
Qu Jianlei also took offense, "If you hadn't taken the initiative to find trouble, would this have happened? Now it's us who are at fault?"
"Out of humanitarianism, we have left an attack ship for you to take care of the wounded. Isn't that enough?"
"I have emphasized to your people that this matter is never over. Not only will the Norton family be in trouble, but the person involved will also be in trouble!"
"If we didn't have an agreement with Wanmi Mining and were worried that a fight would affect our cooperation, we would have gone to see you a long time ago!"
The corner of Sharif's mouth twitched. Because of business cooperation, revenge is temporarily put on hold?
Why does this sound so untrue?
Gothel said with a smile, "Well, the first negotiation is over, and I declare that both parties have conducted comprehensive and in-depth communication."
