It doesn’t matter whether Ma is brave or dare not make mistakes. Anyway, he got into the car in the end and was sent to Seris’s house by four clerks from the Royal Guards Special Tasks Department with high magic skills.
Diplomatic reception hotel.
When Marvin was arranged into the magnificent room, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The decoration here was very unique, which gave him a feeling that Eiland Hill valued him.
However, the reason why he was actually arranged to live here was because none of the diplomats in Eiland Hill were willing to negotiate with this envoy from the puppet empire...
Strider believes that the current puppet empire can be said to be on its deathbed. With the outcome already decided, peace talks with the puppet empire are simply a waste of time.
This Foreign Secretary, who has always stood for Elland Hill and is known as a tough diplomat, recommends using military means to solve political problems in most cases.
In his view, diplomacy is a continuation of politics, and war is a means of resolving political differences - since Elan Hill's methods can resolve any differences, then diplomacy does not require too many skills, just let the war continue.
.
The minister of foreign affairs and the foreign minister of the empire all have this idea. It is conceivable how the other diplomats of the empire view the issue of the puppet empire.
The Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, who is eleven years older than Strider, is obese. He believes that the puppet empire, or the part of the puppet empire that wants to surrender, cannot negotiate on an equal footing with the Elanthir Empire.
He believed that the other party's level was already lower than that of the empire, so the other party's diplomatic envoys and ministerial-level officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Eilanhir Empire could not come forward to receive him.
If the relationship between the two countries is very good and cooperation has been maintained to show the emperor's favor to the friendly country, it is barely acceptable for the foreign minister to receive junior diplomats from a hostile country, but it is not appropriate to meet junior diplomats from a hostile country.
stipulated by the relevant diplomatic etiquette of the empire.
At his insistence, senior diplomats in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs refused to receive Marvin, who came from the puppet empire.
In the end, after going around and around, everyone read a lot of diplomatic laws and related regulations, and finally found a reception method that was satisfactory to everyone: choose a second-level diplomat and lead a temporary team to receive the special envoy from the hostile country.
At this moment, Marvin, who was living in the Diplomatic Hotel, did not know that Alan Hill did not pay attention to this diplomatic negotiation at all. He even felt happy about his living conditions for a while, and even had a meal that was not rich, but
Better than the free lunch he never had.
Early the next morning, when Marvin was taken to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building and saw this 70-story giant building, he realized... that he was facing an unprecedentedly powerful country.
"Mr. Marvin... I have no interest in the conditions you proposed." The second-level diplomat who was elected as the negotiator put down the negotiation conditions brought by Marvin, shook his head and said with some regret.
: "With such conditions, I can't even pass this test."
Marvin also knew that now people had to bow their heads under the roof, and the new puppet empire was unable to fight anymore. If the original puppet empire that made sandwich cookies and the betrayed great mage Travish stood in the way,
If it's over, then the new puppet empire will soon follow.
After all, the newly formed puppet empire did not have many troops. In terms of combat effectiveness, it was far behind the part of the puppet empire controlled by Travish.
With just such a small number of trump cards, naturally they can't offer any particularly good conditions. The bargaining chip given by the new puppet empire is actually very sincere, but in front of the Ailan Hill Empire, which is ready to fully occupy the puppet empire and avoid future troubles.
These sincere bargaining chips are basically not worth mentioning.
For example, the New Puppet Empire believes that they can recognize Elanthir's ownership of the areas under the jurisdiction of the original Puppet Empire, except for the areas actually controlled by the New Puppet Empire.
This is tantamount to recognizing Elanthir's legal ownership of the northeast, southeast, and even parts of the central part of the original puppet empire. To put it more bluntly, it is almost ceding most of the land of the puppet empire to Elanthir.
.
But on the frontal battlefield, victory is already certain, and the war situation is looking good. Ailan Hill does not think this is the sincerity of the new puppet empire - I can defeat it, so why do you need your recognition?
Therefore, the differences between the two sides are actually very huge. The new puppet empire hopes to make peace with Elanshir through war reparations, recognition of occupied areas, and limiting the number of troops.
However, Eiland Hill only gave the new puppet empire one choice: accept the rule of Eiland Hill and retain some of the customs and habits of the magicians of the puppet empire in the designated "autonomous territory" area. This is already the maximum limit.
gave in...
After seeing these conditions, Marvin's expression changed. He felt that this was Ireland's attempt to make things difficult, but the young diplomat in front of him, who was less than forty years old, refused to give in.
Seeing the expression on the other person's face that said "If you dare, beat me to death, I don't want to live anymore. Anyway, you and your country will be buried with me, so you should do it quickly!" Marvin really stopped talking.
The mood is gone.
Regrettably, he did not dare to walk away because such precious negotiation opportunities did not come every day.
The Irish diplomatic team made it clear that if the discussion cannot be concluded today, the meeting will be adjourned tomorrow and the topic will be resumed a week later.
Anyway, Eiland Hill has plenty of time. Every week, hundreds of thousands of missiles of various types are produced. In a few months, the floating fleet may be able to go south.
But the new puppet empire doesn't have that much time - not only is the threat from Alan Hill, Travish may also turn against the newly established puppet empire, so Marvin and the others lack
It's precious time.
With calculations in mind but not intentions, and strength calculated as weakness, the outcome of this diplomatic competition was doomed from the beginning.
Therefore, even though what Marvin saw on the other party's face was the look of "We don't want to talk anymore, we will wait for the results of the war to come out directly", he still patiently begged Alan Hill with all his heart to give the newly established puppet
A chance for empire.
"The opportunity has been given to you! Join Eiland Hill, as long as you don't do anything wrong and don't help the devil... you can guarantee its safety!" The diplomat held his chin up, as if he was a victorious rooster.
, said to Marvin with an arrogant look.
Marvin continued to shake his head and begged: "Can't you leave us a piece of land? The puppet empire has been standing in this world for thousands of years! It cannot die in the hands of people like us.
…”
"Of course, a traitorous human race that has taken refuge in the demonic empire cannot be allowed to exist in this world." As a mortal, this second-level diplomat had a sense of gloating about others' misfortune and making it difficult for the Magic Empire to express its ill will.
Marvin, who was the first to raise the banner against Grand Magister Travish, was filled with regret after hearing these words - they did not stand up to persuade Travish and did not oppose compromising to the origin of magic.
Decided, now naturally we have to accept such an ending.
So he lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was recalling his life and making a decision.
…
Chris is dealing with mountains of documents in his office. As the emperor of a huge empire that has never appeared in history, he has to approve thousands of decisions every day.
For him, the cost of going out to fight personally is not only the risk of fighting on the front line - but more importantly, he also has to deal with the various tasks that have accumulated rapidly during his time away from the office.
For example, what he is reviewing is the plan for the empire to establish a space force. This plan was submitted by Des, because as the second richest man in the empire, he has spent the second most money on the universe.
Of Chris.
At the bottom of this document was sent from the Imperial Air Force Headquarters. The Air Force Commander-in-Chief Butollia proposed that the Air Force take over the command of the floating fleet that was about to be formed.
Chris was also hesitating at this moment whether to establish a new branch of the military or to hand over all these flying behemoths to the Air Force for command.
In fact, this is not a simple decision. Infrastructure including airports, as well as the logistics of these floating fleets, the recruitment and training of new recruits, the production and configuration of weapons... these will all have new changes due to the issue of service affiliation.
.
For example, if these floating warships are handed over to the Air Force, what will the Navy do? Which operations are under the command of the Navy, and which combat tasks are performed by the floating warships?
Therefore, everything must be carefully weighed, and choices and decisions cannot be made hastily.
In addition, I heard that the third giant space station has been launched and the docking has been very successful. There are more and more outer space experiments and the replacement of astronauts, all of which Chris needs to know about.
There is also the seed of the tree of life, the elf's most precious treasure, which was sent to Elland Hill before Chris had time to deal with it...
There are really too many things going on. Chris has been busy since he came back until now, and he has not yet completed the work he accumulated during his personal expedition.
While he was worrying about these things, Strider knocked on the door. He walked into His Majesty the Emperor's office with a document, his face filled with the joy of victory.
Without waiting for Chris to ask questions, he presented the document to Chris with both hands: "The man named Marvin finally signed... Now, the jurisdiction of the puppet empire is the legal territory of the empire!"
