500: Bilateral negotiations

For such a person,

the Dragon Country Leaders only had one evaluation.

Crazy.

An uncooperative, unworkable madman.

Therefore, no matter what Mr. Reliable said at the moment, the Leader remained unmoved. Regarding this guy's intention to use nuclear weapons,

in fact, the Dragon Country Leaders had already made full preparations very early on.

Isn't it just nuclear weapons?

Who's afraid of who?

When it really comes to that point, then the Dragon Country will truly have no scruples!

"You!"

Hearing the words of the Dragon Country Leader,

Mr. Reliable was immediately choked.

He originally thought that if he brought out the nuclear threat, these Leaders of the Dragon Country would at least be slightly wary.

At least they would be willing to negotiate with him, talk about conditions or something. As long as they were willing to talk conditions, things would become much simpler.

At that time, he could use his talent for blackmail.

Negotiate the conditions well, and maybe he could turn things that were unfavorable to him into things that were favorable to him, and then allow himself to still have enough advantage in the midterm elections.

Unexpectedly!

He didn't expect it to be like this!

These Leaders of the Dragon Country, when they talked on the phone with him before, their attitude had always been quite good, and they were willing to back down on many things.

Making him truly feel that he was very powerful.

Unexpectedly!

At this moment, they were unwilling to yield at all, even though he had directly used the ultimate killer move, nuclear deterrence, but the Dragon Country Leader still did not give an inch!

However, he had no way!

No cards left!

This was already his last card!

Realizing this, Mr. Reliable was silent for a while.

"Mr. Leader, I believe that you absolutely do not want things to develop to that point. The consequences of a nuclear bomb are likely to be devastating.

This is true for all humans on the entire Earth. I am unwilling to drop nuclear bombs, and I presume you are also unwilling to let the Dragon Country people suffer nuclear bombing."

"Mr. Reliable, just say whatever you want to say. If you are trying to persuade me with words,

I think that is too ridiculous. We in the Dragon Country do not want a nuclear war! But similarly! We are not afraid of nuclear war! If you really want to fight, then we will fight to the end!

There will be absolutely no room for compromise!"

The Leader said these words decisively, and the uncompromising tone in his voice made Mr. Reliable's heart turn cold.

This was too tough!

For a time, the atmosphere on both ends of the phone call was solidified.

After a moment of silence,

Mr. Reliable finally made a compromise.

"We are willing to compromise on opening up semiconductor technology and a series of key technologies to the Dragon Country.

But we hope that the Dragon Country can open up some of its markets."

After a long silence, Mr. Reliable slowly put forward an attractive condition.

The Leader on the other end of the phone heard Mr. Reliable's words and chuckled softly.

"Oh? Let's not talk about that for now. What about the war that is currently underway? In what form is Mr. Reliable prepared to end it?"

The Leader smiled slightly and asked Mr. Reliable with a faint smile.

After a moment of silence,

"We can issue a joint statement with you, stating that Ugly Country and the Dragon Country, after friendly consultation, do not want the war to continue to expand and cause the risk of a world war.

Therefore, the conditions will be negotiated, both sides will cease hostilities and make peace, return to the pre-war state, and continue to expand cooperation in the economic field."

Mr. Reliable said to the Dragon Country Leader very reluctantly.

"Not bad!"

Hearing Mr. Reliable's words, the Dragon Country Leader smiled slightly.

This was what he truly wanted to hear!

Not threats!

The Dragon Country is not afraid of any threats!

Compromise and retreat are endless!

Therefore!

The Dragon Country never thought of compromising from the beginning!

At this moment, the words Mr. Reliable said seemed like a peace agreement on the surface.

But in reality, everyone knows.

Ugly Country's three aircraft carriers are genuinely gone, and two military bases are genuinely Wasted ( Waste means destroyed/rendered useless).

Tens of thousands of troops were killed or injured.

Under such circumstances, as long as the negotiated conditions do not yield sufficient gains, everyone will tacitly assume that Ugly Country is the defeated party!

While it is called a peace agreement, in reality, most people will directly consider it a surrender agreement!

In fact, this is indeed the case!

If the world hegemon is defeated, is it still the world hegemon?

If a god bleeds, then it is no longer a god!

Especially in the current situation!

Ugly Country's compromise and retreat will at most only make the handover of being the world's number one more gradual.

After talking, they hung up the phone.

Of course, the specific terms of this kind of matter could not be discussed by the leaders of both sides on the phone.

It definitely needs face-to-face diplomatic personnel to communicate some specific terms.

Mr. Reliable, who had hung up the phone, sat on his seat somewhat weakly. He had never felt so powerless.

For a time, he truly regretted it, deeply regretted using the military to blockade the Dragon Country.

But he also understood that if the military was not used to blockade the Dragon Country, it would actually just be a joke, especially with the emergence of the super solid-state battery.

The Dragon Country's economy would usher in a period of rapid growth.

At that time, with the rise and fall, Ugly Country would lose even more badly.

Mobilizing the military for a blockade was actually just a gambler's last resort.

Unexpectedly, the Dragon Country directly used missiles to bombard, directly sinking three aircraft carriers, and rubbing Ugly Country's face and military into the ground.

Under such circumstances, what should Ugly Country do?

Should they directly launch nuclear bombs?

Mr. Reliable did not have the guts to do that!

Directly launching nuclear bombs at another nuclear power, and then facing the enemy's nuclear retaliation?

What's the point of messing around then?

He became the leader to make money, not to smash Ugly Country and then become a rat scurrying across the street.

Although he was indeed crazy, Mr. Reliable was not stupid!

He was not an idiot!

Pretending to be crazy and foolish was true, but he was indeed not stupid.

It's better to remain stable if possible!

As for the follow-up, it's still necessary to explain things and make the matter sound more favorable to his side!

After the leaders of the Dragon Country and Ugly Country had their phone call,

the next level of leadership meeting quickly began its initial online meeting.

Because there were already some agreements reached by the senior leaders.

The online meeting was mainly for determining the scale of the meeting, the format of the meeting, and the location of the meeting.

Ultimately, the meeting location was set in a third party country, Cairo.

Those attending this meeting were basically high-ranking officials from the foreign affairs departments of Ugly Country and the Dragon Country.

To discuss specific terms.

News of the negotiations between the Dragon Country and Ugly Country quickly spread.

This kind of thing could not be kept secret either.

The world's public opinion was once again boiling.

"What the heck? Negotiating? Is Ugly Country crazy? They're actually negotiating with the Dragon Country? What the heck, are they preparing to admit defeat?"

"Otherwise? Ugly Country is now completely unable to do anything to the Dragon Country! After all, the industrial capacity gap is too large. At present, they have lost three aircraft carriers.

It's probably difficult to replenish them, basically impossible to replenish!"
