MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 436 Negotiation (on)

Chapter 436 of the negotiations (on)

What Claude didn't expect was that he took a boat from the port of Vibator and spent five days on the port of Fish Harbor, directly under the jurisdiction of Amphitheatre, and rushed to the theater headquarters in Lanhu City. He found the theater and Nikan. The envoys of the inspections still did not reach any agreement, and both sides were caught in an infinite amount of bargaining and bargaining...

"What happened? We didn't explain the requirements of the White War Zone. What do those Nikancha people mean?" Claude is a bit strange. According to the plan of prior consultation, the theater has developed a general strategic and tactical plan. When the Nekka people came to ask for help, they were asked to implement them in accordance with the requirements of the strategic plan to do the military work in the war.

General Bologna replied with a smile: "The Nikkan people asked us to provide more advanced muskets. They wanted the Obas three-type arquebus that we equipped, not the Hicks lanyard that had the performance of the seized weapon. Guns. At the same time, we also need to sell artillery ammunition, and send people to teach them how to use artillery and form a regular artillery unit...

In fact, these are all in our expectation. As long as they are willing to pay, we can promise them, and even help them form a regular army, so that they have a certain combat effectiveness. However, these Nikkancha people excused their financial difficulties and could not pay the full amount. Instead, they suggested whether they could make credits or install instalments and prepare to spend ten years to pay.

In addition, these Nikkan people rejected the strategic plan proposed by our theater and believed that our unilateral war vision was to ignore the reality and the independence and dignity of their Nikkan people. The war took place on the territory of their country, which would have a great negative impact on the lives of their settlements, so they insisted on refusing the enemy from the border. ”

"Rejecting the enemy from the border?" Crowder snorted, some unknown. "Then those who are not in the water, can you ask for such a request? They won't want us to go to Fox." The colony of the Rocks Bay in the United Kingdom’s archipelago and the ten standing army of the Hicks Kingdom are going to fight..."

General Bologna shook his head and shook his head. Obviously he was also amused by Claude's words: "That wouldn't be the case, the Nikkan people's envoys have not had a fever to this point. If they are If you say it, it means that they are incurable. Our theater will not hesitate to give up any cooperation with them and reach an agreement to sit and watch them destroy the country.

As you look at the map, you know that the Nikkan people’s envoys are willing to give up the eastern and northern mountainous areas within 30 miles of the border with the Rhodes Bay colony. Set up the defensive front, the troops in our theater are responsible for guarding against the Hicks' offense, and they provide logistical support for us..."

"They played a good idea, let us fight the guns in front of them in the front of the theater?" Claude was madly laughed: "Why do these Nikkan people have the confidence to propose such a defensive plan? They do not think that Our war zone is a muddy doll, let them be at the mercy of it. Let the troops in our theater guard the fight between the Hicks and the Hicks in the 30-mile mountain range. They can watch the play in the back and enjoy it. No need to pay any price?"

"Oh..." General Bologin sighed: "You don't know, the news that these Nikkan people got from the colonies of the West Coast countries is that the Hicks Kingdom rented ten colonies of the Rhodes Bay this time. The standing army of more than 600,000 troops is to continue this colonial war with our direct jurisdiction and to report three defeats.

So these Nikkan people think that they are being dragged down by our direct jurisdiction. If their country’s northern coastal mountains are not between the colonies of the Rhodes Bay and our territorial war zones, then they don’t have to worry about being affected. Go to the Hicks offense. They were unlucky and caught in the middle of our direct jurisdiction and the Hicks, and they were innocent.

These Nikkan people's envoys said that they are willing to help us deal with the Hicks because of the good relations and close cooperation with each other. Otherwise, they only need to abandon the northern coastal mountains and allow the Cairo Dex Bay colony to pass through the direct control zone, so that the Hicks can drive straight into the port of Vibaito. ”

“Do these Nikkan people’s envoys really say this? Can I see it as a threat to our theater?” Claude sneered and asked General Bologna: “The courage they got from where they dared to be in front of our theater. Speaking of such a high-sounding language? I used to hear that the Nikkan people’s habits are slippery. I haven’t really seen it. This is an eye-opener. It’s true that our territorial war zones cannot be separated from them in this war. Support?

It is clear that they are facing the danger of destroying the country themselves, but they want to pass the crisis on the head of our direct jurisdiction. Let us force the troops in the territorial area and the Hicks to fight for you, but they take advantage of the fishermen. I am sure that if we agree to their request, then we will even have to pay them high tolls and labor costs in order to ensure the logistics of the frontline, otherwise these logistics supplies will disappear and disappear for no reason. ”

"In fact, both Bick and Scree think that time is already very tight, and they can discuss the support and assistance with the Nikkan people's envoy. As long as the two sides can reach an agreement, then according to the agreement, the Nikkan people also have to The soldiers came out to fight against the Hicks' offense on the defensive front. At this juncture, the Nikkan people will also be desperate.

After all, the first standing regiments that were shipped in the Hicks Kingdom in April will land in the colony of the Rocks Bay. Our theater needs to take time to survey the topographical defense lines in the eastern and northern mountainous borders of the Nikkadu countries. From our war zone to the eastern and northern mountain borders of the Nikkadu country, at least a twenty-day trip is required, and the time is really tight. ”

General Bologin was somewhat hesitant to say that as the most defensive general in the theater, he was very aware of how important a well-equipped defensive front against the enemy's attack. It takes a lot of time to reach the destination to build a line of defense.

"Stop the negotiations with these Nikkan people's envoys, first dry them for three days..." Claude said coldly: "We can't let them be at their mercy, listen to their calls. They only have to do It is to thoroughly implement and implement all our requirements for them according to our pre-defined strategic plan! Otherwise we will watch them destroy the country, and the Hicks will kill the blood in their country, men and women. Zhuang was regarded as a slave, and then they will regret it.

Tell those Nikkan people that I will take over the negotiations from today, and I will not admit the terms and agreements reached by anyone else. If they want our artillery and advanced arquebuses and help them form a regular army, then all of this must come up with real money and refusal to credit. Our territorial war zone is not a local tyrant. For this colonial war, we ourselves have already had a life of selling iron, and we have no ability to help them for free.

These three days are to let them calm down so that they will not raise any unreasonable demands when negotiating with me. Only by following our strategic plan, we can guarantee that we will defeat the Hicks and exempt them from the country. At the same time, our direct jurisdiction can guarantee the integrity of the territory and sovereignty of their country in the agreement. When we defeat the Hicks and win, we will withdraw from their country and will not continue to station. ”

"You will be unhappy with both Bick and Scree..." General Bologna said helplessly, but he still agreed with Claude's request: "I will send an adjutant to inform them to stop. Negotiations with the Nikkan people, rejecting all the requirements of the Nikkan people, telling the Nekka people, the negotiations will start again in three days, and everything is up to you."

This is already the greatest support that General Bologna has done to Claude, and Claude knows this very well. He also sat in the seat of the chief commander of the theater, and was well aware of the difficulties of General Bologna in this position. In many cases, what General Bologna needs to deal with is not a solution to the problem, but a balance between the various aspects of the theater.

Claude is glad that he is not sitting in this position now. Seeing the time of the half-bald head and the two pale hairs of General Bologna, it is difficult to be the chief commander of the theater. . Resettlement of military immigrants, rejection of the requirements of the great Prince Hansback, disarmament, military spending, the Governor and the Admiral rebellion, the severance of contact with the kingdom, the migration of the Nikkan, and after the dust settled, the Hicks came again. Up...

"It's okay, the two of them are not happy now, but they are better than the future." Claude explained: "General Beechklin is also affected by his idea of ​​setting up a defense defensive front in the mountains along the northern coast, now Nikkan He is willing to hand over the eastern border mountains to our theater defenses. He is very happy about this. The troops handed over to our theaters are much more reliable than the armed forces of the Nikkan, and they are not worried that the defensive front will be opened by the Hicks. The breach has leaked a thousand miles.

General Scree, as the general manager of theater logistics, is responsible for military spending and rising deficit budgets in the theater. The main purpose of his negotiations with the Nikkan people is to reserve gold and silver deposits in the Nikkan people's country, hoping to allow the Nikkan people to use these gold and silver ingots to pay for the arms trade, so as to reduce our military spending. The Nikkan people wanted to tie us to their chariots by credit and installment, which he did not consider.

Obviously, if we agree to the Nikkan people's credit or the ten-year payment method, then we must take the initiative to help the Nikkan people to deal with the Hicks. Because of the demise of the Nikkan people, who should we pay for this account in our theater? This is related to a few million gold krona, not a small amount of money. I believe that the Nikangcha envoys must have promised a high price for the weapons we have reported without bargaining..."

General Bologna’s face was a bit ugly, and he also woke up. The reason why the Nikkan people's envoys reported to the artillery of the territorial war zone, the high price of the Obash three-type arquebus is a promise, it is obvious that the final total price is as high as possible. They only need to pay a deposit, so the direct war zone will naturally go to the Hicks for the battle of the arms of millions of gold krona, and also ensure the safety of the Nikkan people. Otherwise, the Nikkan people’s country was ruined by the Hicks, and the direct war zone is looking for someone to pay for it...

“We don’t need to set up any defensive fronts in the mountains of their eastern and northern borders. What we need is a strategy for the Nikkan people to completely implement the sturdy wilderness in their mountainous terrain. Our defensive front can be set in the middle of the mountain. This will shorten our logistics supply and force support distance. It will also bring more trouble to the Hicks offense. The enemy needs to pass the mountain in front to reach our defensive front and launch the attack. Support and logistics replenishment can create difficulties.

In addition, the detachment we sent can carry out a raid on the enemy's back road in the previous mountainous area. If the Hicks want to ensure that their logistics and heavy material supply channels are safe, they need to set up a complete defensive line to block it. Staying in the mountains in front of you, you must also arrange enough troops to separate and guard. Doing so will only drag the entire war into a confrontational situation, which will be a very bad situation for the Hicks who are nervous about logistics. I believe that no Hicks kingdom commander will be happy to see this happen. ......"

Claude picked up his own military cap and he was going to go home: "Tell this to me, General Beechklin, and he will soon understand my intentions. This is the next three days. I will rest at home, no one will be seen. Tell the Nikkan people, the negotiations will start again at 9 am three days later. I will only give them a day, if they do not accept the strategic plan we have developed, then ask them Going back, our territorial war zone will suspend all cooperation with their country and sit and watch them be destroyed by the Hicks."

Three days later, Claude, who was behind the door, thanked the last minute of the 9 o'clock, the last moment of the fall of a small crystal sand in the hourglass, and stepped into the large conference room of the theater headquarters.

The large conference room has been filled with all the people from both sides who came to participate in the negotiations. Compared to the forty-five Nikkan people's countries who served as envoys and chiefs, the theater command only came to General Bolognik and General Albert, as well as several senior officers and recorders. General Beechklin and General Scree did not know whether to avoid the suspicion, or they were worried that they would misunderstand the Nikkan people’s envoys and take the reason for the disputes between the two parties and the two terms that they had reached in the past. This negotiation.

Claude came to the big conference table and just said that the negotiations were hosted by me, and they were interrupted. A very strong Nikancha prince rose up and shouted: "This general, you are not afraid of us giving up the northern coastal mountainous area, let the Hicks long drive straight into the city of Vibator?"

Claude Haha laughed: "No, I don't worry at all, I don't even want you to do this. It's very simple. How do I get them back when the Hicks come, two of our theaters?" The Legion has already prepared for the battle, and the Hicks will come over earlier. For our soldiers, these Hicks are the heroes and rewards that are sent to the door.

As for the northern coastal mountains, you are voluntarily giving up by the Nikkan people, so we can actually occupy them after the Hicks are driven away. Perhaps we can add a coastal mountainous area to the direct control zone. It is also possible to connect directly to the colony of the Rhodes Bay, which is really good news for our direct jurisdiction. ”

"Yes, the Hicks have ten standing army groups, more than 600,000 troops. You, how many people in your theater, how can you run the Hicks so easily! You, you are just bragging. ......" The leader of the Nikkancha dreamed that he could not think of Claude’s answer. Instead of threatening it, he turned to the northern coastal mountainous area and gave it to the theater to be directly governed. An example of a big difference.

"Very good. It seems that you finally know that the Hicks have come to ten standing corps, more than 600,000 troops..." Claude seems to have not seen so many people in the Hicks Kingdom. In your eyes: "Can you guarantee that these Hicks will definitely attack our theater first? They only attack our theater and are not interested in your country?"

The leader of the Nikancha people suddenly stuttered and couldn’t speak. Instead, an older elder who stood next to him stood up: "Respected General Claude, I want to remind you that all the colonial newspapers on the West Coast say that the Hicks rented the colony of the Rhodes Bay. And you will continue this colonial war with your territorial war zone, so your direct leadership zone will be their first goal..."

Crowder shook his head with a smile: "It seems that you still don't understand, we are the enemy of the Hicks, so they are coming to fight with us. This is a righteous thing. But you Nikkan people in Hicks. The eyes of the people are only slaves, the slaves of the rebellion, and the independent establishment of their colonies. This is a great shame for the Hicks. They will not regard you as enemies, because it is insulting them, So they won't say war with you. In their eyes, destroying you is just trying to calm the slave rebellion..."

The Nikkan people’s elders suddenly became speechless, and it seems that they are very clear in their own hearts, what kind of things the Nikkan people are in the eyes of the Hicks.
