Chapter 261 Two Negotiations
"General Bai."
"Li...General!"
After getting closer, Bai Zhizhan saw that Li Qing had the rank of brigade general on his shoulder, so he quickly changed his words and almost called him wrong.
How long has it been?
He was promoted from major to brigade general, who else besides the eldest prince?
Bai Zhizhan was not surprised, he immediately thought of it.
Li Qing did not represent the Imperial Army, but represented the imperial royal family, and met the crown prince of the Tiaoman Empire as the heir to the imperial throne.
Such talks, held by core members of the royal family, are full of sincerity and more guaranteed.
However, he still uses a pseudonym.
After all, it was just a secret talk, so there was no need to be so grand. Moreover, the crown prince of the Tiaoman Empire also served in the army and was also wearing military uniforms.
As for the other acquaintance, it is Zhang Xiaoqing.
"General Bai."
"You are..."
"Go to the negotiations, aren't you?"
Bai Zhizhan was very confused and thought Zhang Xiaoqing was joking.
"Ms. Zhang is a member of the Ministry of Finance's negotiation team, mainly involving strategic assistance, so the specific terms need to be reviewed and evaluated on the spot." Wang Kaiyuan walked over and said with a smile: "It seems that you have known each other a long time ago. If you talk, I'll go and greet others."
After leaving this sentence, Wang Kaiyuan didn't care whether Bai Zhizhan was happy or not, so he turned around and went to say hello to the other personnel.
"At first, I heard from Li Qing that the Navy was going to send a famous general over there, saying that the three parties' secret talks were actually mainly about the Navy's affairs, and it had little to do with the army's rebellion. I also thought it might be General Liu Xiangzhen, after all, he led the fleet to capture Liuhuangdao."
Is it a provocation method?
This little trick is really useless. After all, in the past twenty years, the outside world has not evaluated the abilities of the two people.
Bai Zhizhan just smiled politely.
"I heard from my cousin-law that you were not in Puzhou some time ago, and you also went to the West East to look around?"
"Yes, I went for a walk and killed several Nayi warships."
"Is it your credit for the battle to annihilate the permanent fleet?"
Bai Zhizhan didn't respond, so there was no need to explain.
The first special fleet annihilated the permanent fleet in the East Ocean is still top secret. The Imperial Navy did not announce it to the public, let alone make a big public.
According to the announced news, after completing the maintenance of the hull, the "Hengjiang" went to sea for navigation tests, so it appeared in Naqiu Port.
Because problems were found during the test, the aircraft carrier had to return to Puzhou Port for maintenance.
In terms of public propaganda, the one who annihilated the permanent fleet was a special mixed group commanded by Liu Xiangzhen.
The credit is based on the first special fleet, so Bai Zhizhan didn't care about it. As for the navy's confidentiality regulations, Bai Zhizhan could not ignore it.
Fortunately, the transport plane is ready.
After the service staff came to greet everyone on board, Bai Zhizhan quickly walked to the front. He was not hiding from Zhang Xiaoqing, but just wanted to take a good place to sleep during the flight. If he had known that he would have been sent to participate in the negotiations, he would go back to the hotel to sleep after handing in the morning.
After getting on the plane, Bai Zhizhan went to the corner and fell asleep after sitting down.
He is indeed exhausted.
I have never had time to come back before the Spring Festival and have been busy all the time. I have to attend social engagements every now and then. It is already very good to be able to survive.
At this time, in the southern part of the empire, the Navy Aviation Base outside the home port of the Southern Fleet, carrying another group of negotiators had taken off.
The destination of these transport aircraft is Mara City, Nanzhuguo.
A few years ago, after President Newland issued a call, the imperial authorities immediately responded and issued an announcement in newspapers with the signature of the chief minister, saying that the empire was willing to end the war with the narrow-minded kingdom through a peaceful means, including negotiations, and welcomed all peace-loving countries, including the Newland Federation, to mediate, but the empire would not give up the right to punish war crimes granted by international law and international conventions.
After several rounds of consultations, the three parties agreed to hold their first informal meeting in Mara City, Nanzhu Kingdom.
If the meeting is quite pleasant, there is a possibility of negotiation.
If the meeting ends unhappily, what else can I talk about?
In order to show your importance to this meeting, the empire was commander of the Southern Fleet, and General Liu Xiangdong served as the leader of the negotiation team.
A few days ago, Xue Yuanzheng personally signed Liu Xiangdong's promotion order and raised his military rank one level.
Admiral has a strong aura that he will not lose to the other party during negotiations.
As for the Nayi Empire, the leader of the negotiation team was General Songhui.
Like Liu Xiangdong, Songhui was promoted to general a few days ago. However, he was the commander of the Nai Navy Submarine Team before.
The Newland Federation sent a Rear Admiral named Hal.
This person is famous for his bad temper and has also been nicknamed "Manniu".
Judging from the arranged personnel, this meeting was hopeless.
Although Liu Xiangdong took the position of commander of the Southern Fleet before the outbreak of the war, Chengjiang Port was attacked after he served as the acting commander. Even if he didn't need to take responsibility, he would not be able to get over the face, so don't expect him to advance the armistice negotiations.
General Songhui was originally an unknown person and had little influence in the Nai Navy.
As for Hal, who was sent by the Newland Navy to coordinate, a major general in his fifties, who had worked in the squadron of the South Zhu Kingdom for more than ten years, and was later transferred to Guandao to take charge of the fleet. He was transferred back to the Eastern Ocean Fleet Command a few months ago. He was a few years older than Liu Xiangdong, and was still only a major general.
This is clearly a mix of things.
None of the three parties had a safe conversation, they were just messing around.
In terms of external publicity, that is another matter.
Not to mention the Newland Federation and the Liangxia Empire, even the Naoyi Empire, in public opinion, they were full of confidence in this meeting, as if the war would be extinguished after the meeting began, and then there would be an immediate truce, and back to the outbreak of the war, as if nothing had happened.
It must be said that when it comes to meetings, the three parties take their own needs.
Needless to say, the Liangxia Empire is taking this opportunity to let the whole world know that it is the victim country and to tell the world the shameful act of launching a war with a sneak attack.
The Newland Federation wanted to take this opportunity to enhance its international voice and prove that it was the only one who could sit down and negotiate.
As for the Naoyi Empire, it is obviously necessary to create reasons and conditions for the Bran Kingdom to implement a strategic embargo on March 1 by talking about the armistice and peace.
In any case, journalists from all over the world have already gathered in Mara City.
On the other hand, the southern city of Luosha Federation, the most famous oil city in the eastern part of the Western Continent, is also a cave in one of the world's largest oil production sites. It is not only very cold, but also very deserted. Not to mention foreign journalists, even local residents have not heard of secret talks.
The only one who is famous for the cave is not only oil.
Before oil was discovered, Baku was famous for hot springs and mud baths. During the Empire, the baths here were very famous. The Luosha Royal Family built a different palace here. Every spring and autumn, many female relatives came here to live for a while.
It is said that the mud bath in Baku has magical therapeutic effects in treating skin diseases, and is also a beauty product.
