Chapter 133 Attitude
Xu Yi looked at Marquis Descartes, who was talking to Count Didamans, the Director of the Foreign Service of the Kingdom of Ruhrson, who was in charge of the talks, with an unconcealed scrutiny in his eyes.
The active peace talks proposed by the Kandra Empire this time were both expected and beyond his expectations.
As the war continued, the Kandra Empire suffered repeated defeats, and from these defeats, it was meaningless that the powerful army they were proud of and the mage who relied on the greatest reliance was no longer possible, so they would definitely think that it would be difficult for them to win this war.
In this case, in order to ensure the territorial integrity of the Kander Empire and prevent further losses, proactively proposing peace talks is inevitable for the Kander Empire, because if the peace talks are successful, at least it can win a lot of time for the Kander Empire.
What Xu Yi did not expect was that the Candela Empire had recognized the fact that they could not compete with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the front battlefield so early, so that they proposed peace talks a long time earlier than Xu Yi had expected.
This is enough to prove that not all the Kandra Empire live in tradition and still holds the mentality of "I am the best in the world", but there are many people who can clearly see the situation.
So this time, Xu Yi personally made a successful career on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If the Candela Empire can really confirm the situation correctly and come up with a plan to make Xu Yi satisfied, then he doesn't mind the real peace talks.
After all, the Kandera Empire is one of the two major empires on this continent. With the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, even if it cooperates with several other countries, it is basically impossible to swallow the Kandera Empire.
And using war to defeat the Kandra Empire in chaos and was in chaos, that was not something Xu Yi hoped to see.
In the history of the earth, there have actually been situations similar to the present.
That is, the ancient Mongolian army had the ability to be completely invincible on the front battlefield, which allowed them to ride war horses to sweep across the Eurasian continent and build an extremely huge empire that almost covered the entire Eurasian continent.
However, such an empire was only nominally occupied. In fact, the Mongol Empire had extremely weak control over its territory, so it was completely divided and gradually disappeared without lasting for a long time.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now has invincible combat power on the front battlefield with its advanced military magic machinery.
If Xu Yi was willing, he could actually let the New Air Chamber of Commerce guards cooperate with several countries that cooperated with to fight the entire Seines continent invincible.
However, this makes no sense.
Xu Yi's ideal is to establish a complete magic industrial system on the Sainz continent, and then use this system to greatly improve the productivity and production level on this continent, thereby improving the civilizational appearance of the entire continent and improving everyone's lives.
War is just a means, not an end.
The reason why the war broke out with the traditional power represented by the two empires was only because the two empires tried to snatch the dominance of the construction of the magic industrial system and the huge benefits contained in it from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi doesn't care about sharing these interests, but Xu Yi is not allowed to fall into the hands of others for this dominance.
Apart from himself, Xu Yi does not believe that there is another person on this continent who has the same understanding and experience in creating a magical industrial system.
"If this peace talks can be successful, of course we will make certain compensation to your country, and I believe it will satisfy you."
At this time, Marquis Descartes had finished his preliminary negotiations with Count Didamans and turned to look at Xu Yi.
"President Xu, I wonder what your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is about?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "The peace talks were proposed by your Kander Empire. Of course, the conditions should be proposed by you first."
"President Xu said it well." Marquis Descartes nodded, raised his hand and made a gesture.
Two people walked out of the envoys of the Kandra Empire behind him, came to Xu Yi and Earl of Didamans, and took out two documents and handed them to them.
"This is a preliminary peace agreement drawn up by the Imperial Elder Parliament. Please review it."
Xu Yi and Earl Didamans looked at each other, reached out to take the document, opened it and looked carefully, and then frowned slightly.
In this peace talks, the Kandera Empire proposed that the two sides agreed to a truce after the Ruhrson Kingdom and the New Air Flight Chamber of Commerce removed the territory of the Kandera Empire, while the Kandera Empire would not pursue the losses they caused to the Kandera Empire in this war.
This is normal, after all, this is the basis for the ceasefire between the two sides.
However, in this agreement, the words used by the Candela Empire still have a sense of loftyness, making people feel uncomfortable.
Of course, the tone of words is not important, what is important is the conditions.
In the ceasefire conditions proposed by the Kandera Empire after the agreement, the Kandera Empire stated that after the ceasefire, the Kandera Empire will re-open the Rursun Kingdom and the New Air Chamber of Commerce and provide a series of preferential policies.
The opening up of the Ruhrson Kingdom is mainly to relieve the consistent hostility policy of both sides on the border, to allow civilians and merchants of the Ruhrson Kingdom to freely enter the Kander Empire, and to give special treatment to civilians second only to the Kander Empire.
At the same time, the Candela Empire will also remove the troops originally hoarded on the borders of both sides, and will also select ten cities from the border as cities for in-depth cooperation and exchange between the two sides. People from the Rursun Kingdom will not have to pay taxes when entering these ten cities...
In short, a series of conditions revolve around preferential policies given by the Kandera Empire to the Rulson Kingdom. Although it seems good, it does not actually have much content. The Kandera Empire will not invest too weak manpower and material resources in this.
Even... these conditions are faintly filled with a hint of giving.
In comparison, the conditions for the Candela Empire to open the New Air Chamber of Commerce are much better.
The Kandera Empire promised that after the two sides' ceasefire, the Kandera Empire would give the treatment of the New Air Chamber of Commerce equivalent to the internal Chamber of Commerce of the Kandera Empire.
In other words, any goods from the New Air Chamber of Commerce will not need to pay additional tariffs when entering the Candela Empire. It only needs to pay normal commercial taxes like the Chamber of Commerce of the Candela Empire.
At the same time, the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce will be protected by the laws of the Candela Empire. In the event of disputes and various accidents, the Kandla Empire will provide various support to the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, the Candela Empire also promised to further cooperate with the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce to ensure that any cooperation projects with the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce will be given the highest priority of the Candela Empire and enjoy various priorities and conveniences.
At first glance, these conditions are very attractive because this can be said to be a great convenience for a chamber of commerce like the New Air Chamber of Commerce.
The cancellation of tariffs alone will allow the total amount of goods imported by the New Air Chamber of Commerce from the Candela Empire to make a leap forward, thus achieving even more amazing profits.
If another ordinary chamber of commerce has obtained such conditions, it will undoubtedly be grateful and honored to the Candela Empire.
But when Xu Yi saw these conditions, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Marquis descartes, is these all the conditions proposed by your Candela Empire?" Xu Yi mentioned the peace agreement in his hand and asked Marquis descartes.
Marquis Descartes responded with a smile: "This is just a preliminary agreement. If you are not satisfied with anything, we can negotiate."
"I'm not dissatisfied with anything." Xu Yi shook his head and threw the peace agreement in his hand. The agreement flew back like wings, and landed on the table in front of Marquis Descartes. Then Xu Yi raised his voice slightly and continued with a serious look: "I'm not satisfied with this entire agreement! Marquis Descartes, if your Candela Empire wants to hold peace agreements with this attitude, please come back, we will see you on the battlefield next."
Marquis Descartes looked at the agreement on the table, and there was no panic on his face. He was just silent for a moment, and then continued to smile and said, "President Xu, peace talks are something that needs to be negotiated slowly. If you are not satisfied with the conditions, we can issue the conditions again. Or you might as well propose the conditions that your new flight chamber needs, and we will adjust according to the situation. What do you think?"
Xu Yi glanced at him, stood up and left the living room where the three-party talks were held.
The other members of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce present did not hesitate at all and followed Xu Yi one after another.
The Marquis of Descartes and all members of the Candela Empire's envoy were stunned.
They never expected that Xu Yi would have such a bad temper and turned his back on the spot.
This is completely different from the various negotiations they think.
If you are not satisfied with the conditions, then Marquis Descartes has already said that you can talk slowly, but what is going on when you leave without saying anything.
Marquis Descartes stayed for a while, then turned his head and asked Earl Didamans: "Sir, President Xu is a little ruthless, right? Since you have agreed to have a peace talk with us, you are now showing such an attitude. Isn't it too much?"
Earl Didamans smiled lightly and looked at Marquis Descartes, then slowly took a sip, and then said slowly: "Marte Descartes, don't you understand yet? This time, your Candela Empire mainly proposed peace talks. As a result, you proposed such conditions that are just coaxing children. Don't you think it's ridiculous? You said that President Xu's attitude is not good, so I want to ask your attitude is good enough?"
Marquis Descartes's face darkened: "I have already said that we can discuss in detail if we are not satisfied with the conditions. The so-called negotiation is to find a result that everyone is satisfied with in the end, right?"
Earl Didamans smiled, shook his head, put the teacup in his hand on the table, got up and slowly wandered out to the outdoors.
Other Rulson Kingdom personnel in the indoor room also left.
In a blink of an eye, only the envoys of the Kandra Empire were left in the huge living room, and even the servants responsible for serving tea and pouring water retreated.
The Marquis Descartes and the other members of the envoy looked at each other and couldn't speak for a long time. (~^~)
