When he arrived at the study, Bai Zhizhan first saw three people sitting on the sofa, the chief assistant Xue Yuanzheng, the commander-in-chief of the Navy Liu Changxun and the commander-in-chief of the Army Peng Huaisheng, and then saw two people standing next to the window. One of them looked like Situ Jingde, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard.

Another one, is it the Lord?

Bai Zhizhan didn't react at all, mainly because the emperor changed into casual clothes.

Dragon robe?

That thing has been in the museum for a long time. Even on formal occasions such as ancestor worship, I was wearing Liang Xia's dress that rose up in Shiwu Emperor.

The abolition of the dragon robe that had been passed down for two thousand years was actually the beginning of the secularization of the imperial royal family.

In the past, only members of the royal family could claim to be the descendants of the dragon and be qualified to wear dragon robes, and "dragon" has always been a totem for the royal family.

Now, the people of the Liangxia Empire are all descendants of the dragon, and the "dragon" is no longer exclusive to the royal family.

If you want to say something, the Lord appears in public, it is a formal occasion.

It is impossible for ordinary people to see the imperial emperor wearing casual clothes.

"All the guests left?"

"Everything is gone."

After Liu Changxun reminded him, Bai Zhizhan quickly closed the door. Liu Changxun didn't say much, and waited for Bai Zhizhan to walk over and handed him a document.

A copy of the agreement was not a secret agreement reached in the vassal of the vassal.

"You have to wait a few more hours, and you can read it first."

Bai Zhizhan nodded. When he opened the document, he looked at his wristwatch. It was already past two o'clock in the morning. The document in his hand was obviously just sent.

That's right, it's the result of the Mara negotiations.

Today, to be precise, yesterday, is the deadline for the Mara negotiations.

Because the time zone of the Kingdom of Bran is several hours late, it is necessary to wait until early in the morning before receiving a message from the city of Lontia whether the Kingdom of Bran accepts this agreement.

If you accept it, there is nothing to say.

Unfortunately, the probability of this happening is slim.

If not accepted, it means that the Kingdom of Bran will immediately impose a strategic embargo on both sides of the war, and Prime Minister Bran will announce specific embargo measures at the same time.

As for this agreement, even though it was written in three words and hundreds of pages in densely packed, it was no different from waste paper.

The content of the agreement can be described in one idiom.

Play the piano against the cow.

During the entire Mara negotiation, the three and four countries attended the meeting had their own opinions, and they did not care about each other's demands and did not intend to compromise with each other.

Although this agreement that seems to be used to maintain world peace was finally reached, it is not practical at all on a specific level.

To put it bluntly, this agreement is just to allow Newland Secretary of State Hale to submit a mission to Congress.

After more than ten days of hard work, the daily food and accommodation of representatives from all parties used hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they must give an explanation to the Newland federal taxpayers.

The Kingdom of Bran has only one requirement. The Liangxia Empire and the Nayi Empire must unconditionally stop all combat operations before 0:00 on March 1, and hold the first ceasefire consultation within the next forty-eight hours, and conduct formal negotiations before March 15.

What should I do if I can’t agree?

The Kingdom of Bran doesn't care about this issue at all. Anyway, there will be a ceasefire. If there is no ceasefire, an embargo will be imposed.

The attitude of the Liangxia Empire was also very clear.

A ceasefire is OK, but there are seven prerequisites.

First, a ceasefire is in the current situation, that is, the Liangxia Empire will not allow combat troops to retreat due to a ceasefire. The ceasefire will only temporarily stop targeted military operations.

Second, the Nayi Empire must transfer all war criminals who participated in the planning, organizing and carrying out sneak attacks, as well as direct or indirect support, condon and assist in launching sneak attacks, and committing crimes before the first ceasefire consultation in 48 hours, and provide evidence and witnesses to unconditionally cooperate with the Liangxia Empire to judge war criminals.

Third, before March 15, that is, before formal negotiations, unconditionally hand over and return all overseas territories that were occupied during and after the last war, including but not limited to Poluo, Malay Peninsula and the Northern Horse Islands, to compensate for the losses caused by illegal occupation.

Fourth, before signing the armistice agreement, the Navy and the Army were dissolved. The Navy handed over all ships with a standard displacement of more than 500 tons, as well as all submarines and combat aircraft, and stopped the construction of all warships. Among the warships under construction, the hulls that had been completed were treated as completed and all those that were not completed were demolished. The Army only retained 100,000 public security forces, handed over all heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft, and all officers and soldiers of the troops were repatriated to their original homes.

Fifth, after signing the armistice agreement, the volcanic islands were unconditionally cedeed and Shuangma Island was leased to the Liangxia Empire, with a lease period of no less than 99 years. The two places of Changqi and Henbin were opened to the Liangxia Empire forever and used as a military base, allowing the Liangxia Empire to station troops in both places.

Sixth, after the armistice agreement comes into effect, negotiations are held on war compensation, and the Liangxia Empire has the right to use various means including compulsory tariffs during and after the negotiations are over to obtain economic and non-economic benefits that do not exceed the requirements for war compensation.

Seventh, after the war, the Nayi Empire shall not enter into treaties of any nature with any country except the Liangxia Empire.

This is not a prerequisite. It is simply a pure and unequal treaty, which is even more excessive than the request made by Chen Bingxun after he knocked on the gate of the Nayi Empire!

Will the Nayi Emperor Congress agree?

Definitely not!

Of course, the Nayi Empire also made demands.

It is much simpler, that is, within forty-eight hours after the ceasefire, the warring sides shall return to their state before the outbreak of the war.

This means that the Liangxia Empire needs to hand over the Xiagao Kingdom and the volcanic islands to the Nayi army, and also let the North-South Sadou Islands withdraw their troops.

Obviously, it was impossible for the Liangxia Empire to agree to such conditions.

Based on the principle of adhering to the principle of adhering to the negotiating site, Newland Federation, which provides negotiation sites, has also proposed a set of plans.

After the Nayi Empire abandoned the Gao Kingdom, the Liangxia Empire withdrew troops from the volcanic islands, and the north-south islands returned to normal, the Liangxia Empire promised not to build military bases and military facilities outside the port, and to open the Watcher Strait to abide by the principle of free passage.

Punishment of war criminals, war reparations and other issues will be discussed after the ceasefire.

The proposal of Newland Federation seems to require both sides to make concessions, but the result is that neither side can accept such a disguised compromise plan.

To sum up, before the outcome is decided on the battlefield, negotiations are a waste of time.

For a result, it was an explanation to Hale, who was enthusiastic about the organization, which was created this inappropriate and worthless agreement.

This itself is not a ceasefire negotiation. There is no requirement to reach a ceasefire agreement. All it needs is a result that can be taken back and submitted.

Will the Bran Kingdom announce an embargo on both sides of the war without reaching an agreement?

Not reaching a negotiation does not mean that the negotiations have broken down, after all, the negotiations have not yet begun.

There is still something to talk about if the embargo and sanctions are temporarily shelved.

As long as the embargo measures are implemented, there is no need to discuss it!

"At the beginning, Liu Xiangdong sent a telegram, still negotiating with the representatives of the Kingdom of Bran, saying that it would definitely end before dawn."

Hearing this, Bai Zhizhan looked at Xue Yuanzheng.

"As long as you can still talk, that's a good thing." Xue Yuanzheng smiled, without explaining too much.

Before Xue Yuanzheng said this, Bai Zhizhan thought of it.
Chapter completed!
