Chapter 972 War without smoke

A friendly exchange and consultation meeting is underway in the Yan State Embassy in a neighboring country.

The content of the meeting was about strengthening in-depth cooperation and close exchanges between Yan and its neighboring countries.

It covers many fields including culture, education, economy, religion and international organizations, and is of great significance to promoting the development of relations between the two countries and peace and development in the region and even the world.

Because the content of this meeting is aimed at mutual benefit and win-win results, both sides have made certain concessions on many projects.

However, after discussing economic, educational and cultural issues, some unexpected situations arose when it came to regional issues, and our ambassador's attitude changed from being previously amiable to becoming very tough.

"These areas have been the inherent territory of our Yan Nation since ancient times. We will never agree to your unreasonable demands."

The leader on the opposite side was a burly and domineering third brother general with a beard, named Pim Khan, who served as the General Staff of the Army.

Pim Khan shook his finger and said with a smile, "Ambassador Zhou, I beg your pardon. We, like you, are ancient civilizations with splendid histories. We have enjoyed a long-standing relationship. Otherwise, there would be no Journey to the West, and Buddhism would never have been introduced to your country."

"We have many things in common in our cultural roots. Although there were some misunderstandings in the past, I always believe that misunderstandings can be resolved, just like we are sitting together now to discuss cooperation in a friendly manner. This will greatly promote the development of exchanges between the two sides."

"As for your claim that this is your inherent territory since ancient times, I don't agree. This is because it is recorded in your ancient books, and it is also recorded in our ancient books."

Ambassador Zhou said seriously, "Your ancient books have been proven to be fabricated, but we have solid evidence to prove it."

Pim Khan retorted, "Since you can claim our evidence is fabricated, then I can also question the authenticity of your ancient texts... But right now, I won't argue about that. It would only damage the pleasant atmosphere of our earlier communication and cooperation."

"Since both of us hold certain principles and believe we are right, why don't we just make some concessions? What do you think?"

Ambassador Zhou frowned: "Would you please tell me first?"

Pim Khan raised his hand and asked someone to bring him a map of the border area.

Among them, there is a red shaded area, which is the so-called disputed area.

He pointed to this position and said, "I'm not asking you to give up this position completely. I just hope that we can return to the way things were before, with both sides setting up outposts on both sides and patrolling their respective areas. Of course, I hope you don't misunderstand, we're doing this to maintain border security in this area."

"As you know, this area is often visited by poachers, illegal immigrants, and some criminals."

"By doing this, we are helping you reduce patrol pressure and jointly maintaining world order and peace."

Ambassador Zhou did not respond, but sneered in his heart.

This cooperation, exchange and consultation meeting lasted a total of four days.

In the past few days, negotiations were conducted by people from the other party’s diplomatic department or foreign trade and economic department.

Today, he was suddenly replaced by this bearded man, and he is the Chief of Staff of the opposite army, whose status is equivalent to that of the commander of the domestic theater.

Ambassador Zhou found that he was deceived by the other party's rough appearance and thought he was a carefree guy, but he didn't expect him to have such deep thoughts.

All the preparations in the previous part are just for the final stage, where they want to use the banner of jointly maintaining world peace to make Yan Country make concessions on certain regional issues?

dream!

Ambassador Zhou is no pushover either. He originally worked in the political department of the Northwest War Zone, specializing in dealing with these messy foreign affairs.

He then offered a tactical response: "Jointly maintaining regional stability and world peace is the responsibility of a major country like ours. This is beyond doubt."

"Regarding your earlier suggestion of helping us reduce patrol pressure, it's actually unnecessary."

"Nowadays, our military technology is constantly improving. Even in the glaciers and plateaus, we can ensure that our soldiers can eat fresh, delicious and hot meals."

"As for patrols, we have fully equipped ourselves with drone equipment. If we find any criminals trying to cross this area and commit illegal crimes, we will definitely eliminate them immediately."

The two sides exchanged sharp words.

The conference room was like a war without the smoke of gunpowder.

But neither side fell out, after all, they had just reached a lot of economic exchanges.

If all other cooperation projects were to fail because of one thing, it would be a huge economic loss for both parties, and the consequences would not be something they could afford.

Finally, Pim Khan, exhausted, raised his hand to interrupt the other party's relentless speech. "Both sides believe their arguments are more reasonable, and neither can convince the other. But if you refuse to budge, we'll have no choice but to increase our investment in other projects to ensure our interests are not harmed."

Ambassador Zhou smiled politely, "If that's the case, then we'll also adopt a corresponding reciprocal strategy. At worst, no one will make any money."

Pim Khan's expression under his beard was very ugly.

He thought he was smart enough, but Ambassador Zhou across from him was obviously better at calculating accounts than him.

In the end, he made a suggestion that all previous agreements remain unchanged and both sides should make some concessions on this matter.

"Soon, our counter-terrorism exercise with your Yan Nation will begin. This is a fair, just, and open military competition. Let's decide the final outcome based on victory or defeat on the field."

"If you win, please allow us to station three outposts in that area. This is already a huge concession."

"Our goal is simply to ensure the security of our borders. We don't have any other intentions, so we are willing to show sincerity."

"This is the limit of our concessions. If you can't even agree to a request like this, then we shouldn't cooperate with each other in the past. There's not even the most basic trust!"

Ambassador Zhou still refused to agree. When it comes to negotiation, he is definitely a master among masters.

Although the guy opposite him kept setting traps for him, he just wouldn't be fooled.

Cultural and economic exchanges are cultural and economic exchanges, and regional issues are regional issues. They must not be confused.

If he were to let go easily on such a matter, the adverse consequences would make him a sinner for all eternity.

So he made an excuse, saying that he couldn't make the decision and needed to hold a meeting to discuss it and give a reply in the evening.

The meeting ended temporarily, and Pim Khan and others also left. Before leaving, they politely expressed their hope to receive a reply from the other party as soon as possible, and they looked forward to strengthening cooperation and construction with an ancient civilization with a similarly long history like Yan State.

Watching the gang's car leave the embassy, ​​the diplomatic staff in charge of this consultation meeting sneered.

"This General Pim Khan is truly a formidable opponent. He's constantly setting traps for us."

"I was really deceived by this guy's appearance. I thought he was a rough man with a beard, but I didn't expect him to be more eloquent than those who specialize in foreign affairs. No wonder he was able to succeed Lessinger as the Army Chief of Staff for this region."

"Ambassador, what should we do next? Should we continue to discuss or decisively refuse?"

"Of course we have to refuse. Can't you see their wolfish ambitions? They just want to continue to encroach on us using the same old methods!"

"Compared to the past, we are much stronger. They no longer dare and have no chance to infiltrate quietly. They can only negotiate openly in this way."

Everyone in the conference room was talking about it, but Ambassador Zhou thought it was a good opportunity.

If the other party puts forward ideas, we can also propose corresponding constraints.

If we win, we can also request to build a weather observation station on the other side's territory.

It has no military purpose and is purely for monitoring and recording climate change in the Himalayas, making an outstanding contribution to solving global climate warming.

When they heard Ambassador Zhou's speech, everyone's eyes lit up and they slapped their thighs.

This is a really good reason. If it is really built, it will not only have extremely far-reaching strategic significance, but will also further enhance the security and stability of our western border areas.

You know, the Himalayas are a natural geographical barrier, and its strategic significance is self-evident.

After Ambassador Zhou drafted a plan, he immediately communicated with his superiors and reported on the content of the previous meeting.

After listening to Ambassador Zhou's proposal, the superiors quickly agreed without any hesitation.

The reason is very simple. As the top special forces soldier in the country with the highest frontline combat level, Tianlang's strength is also ranked among the best in the world.

Therefore, the top brass of the army have absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of Tianlang.

Not only that, Qin Feng, the most outstanding officer of the younger generation, also went there to take command.

Such a lineup is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two!

With such strength, he is more than capable of participating in the World Lighthouse competition. How could he be fooled by these big-talking guys?
